What is the difference between my Entity ID number and my Federal ID number?
The Business Section’s computer system automatically generates an Entity ID number when your entity’s record is entered into the system. This ID number is an internal number used within our office to track your entity. This ID number will appear on every document filed with this office and/or issued by our office. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), not the state, classifies corporations according to how they want to be taxed. The Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) can be obtained by the entity through the IRS once it has been formed. The toll free phone number is 1-800-829-4933. The FEIN can also be obtained online at www.irs.gov.
