IRS-EIN-Application

This site poses as an official government site and charges an exorbitant fee for free government tax ID numbers. They get your credit card number and fulfill your order before you have time to cancel (which is not an option on their site--One must call). Their mailbox is "full,' so there is no contact or recourse.

Unfortunately most people won't find this out until after they've already been scammed. The company will show up in your top search results when you go to file for an EIN number. This service is completely free and instant if you do it through the IRS. In other words you instantly will receive your EIN number. I inadvertently used this company when looking for the IRS and was charged $249 without receiving any email communication. When I called their customer service for a refund of the service that they did not perform or communicate with me about, they stated that they had emailed despite there being no emails in my inbox or spam folder. They also refused to provide a refund for the service that cost them nothing to perform and for which I entered all the information. They are dishonest and must be shut down.

When you are vulnerable, and need an EIN for an estate (my Mother passed away), this company does nothing to facilitate the process. I applied days ago and have yet to receive the EIN. I tried contacting them via email, their online form and phone without success. Each time I call, the call got disconnected and I was never able to speak to someone. Subsequently I found out I could do this on the IRS website and get an EIN immediately. Wish I did that from the beginning.

SO I wanted a EIN and I looked it up, the link on my title is the first result on google... I gave in, not knowing it was a scam. I unfortunately submitted my personal info but realized it was a hoax when they asked for a credit card. I didn't submit my credit card info thankfully, but I'm afraid of what these rats might do with my ssn and all that. I don't know why this site hasn't been taken down, IRS you need to do something about this. Many more people are going to lose their identities and money because of these people

They are scammers disguising under IRS for vulnerable entrepreneurs who do not know the system. Spread the word around and run from this site: https://www.irs-ein-tax-id.com/. They are the first ones that show up as sponsored when you type in EIN on google and they charge you $329 when you can get this free of charge on IRS. They do not do anything special from what you would do on IRS site

The site did as promised, got # with in 2 hours for rush deliver via email, but will say site a bit deceptive since appears very similar graphic layout as IRS site, perhaps it is worth it to the few that can not do it on their own, if you do not have a direct link IRS site can be very confusing, but for most, vast majority, easier to just to to IRS directly if they knew. Now I hope they can handle the confidential info I sent them for how ever long they keep it.
In case you are looking here is the link:

Got my $300 lesson today!

Stay away from this company! 45 days later and I'm still waiting and they just give a lame excuse as to why it's taking so long, on top of them messing up the paperwork. I wouldn't have done it, but the site looked like the I.R S web site and i payed them before I realized they weren't the I.R.S., just stay away from them! You will save yourself dome extreme stress.

They have ads which are at the top of the google search results for EIN, EIN number, EIN costs, etc. Their site starts with www//irs which makes it look official. They charge over $200 for something that is free on the real govt site. Shame on Google for enabling this scam

They only care about the money, and did horrible job.
They do not care about the job quality and do not follow up any applications.
The only after sales service is asking you to phone IRS regarding your application.

The IRS-EIN-Application website pretends to be IRS website, but it's a scam. They will take your money for a service, e.g. EIN application which is free of charge with IRS. DON'T USE IT. These people belong to prison cell.

**I wish there was a negative star rating **** Appears as though it is an official IRS website. Charges $300 for absolutely nothing. SCAM EIN numbers are free on the actual IRS website. I requested a refund and I was denied in a very condescending and rude tone.

Total scam. You don't need these people and you can do it in about 60 seconds or less... ALL FOR FREE. The IRS WILL NEVER CHARGE YOU to obtain in an EIN. DO NOT PAY THIS SITE FOR ANYTHING. See response below. I actually tested them but had informed my credit card company of the forthcoming charge. This email was received more than four hours AFTER I had paid for "expedited" 1-hour service. The IRS will provide you with an EIN, as noted above, almost instantaneously, but within 10 minutes on the outside.

They collect all your data and charge you over $250 dollars for what you can do safer and faster on the IRS website. How can they be allowed to operate this scam and be on top of Google Search results. STAY AWAY

As others have said, they do nothing extra and charge lot of money. Looks official but at the end of their long opening page, they finally state they are not a government site but few busy people will go all the way to the bottom. Do not use them, make sure you go directly to the IRS site and then apply.

I thought it was the IRS web site too. I called my credit card company 10 minutes later and I could not stop payment. I called them and I could tell by the tone of their voice this was not the first time they had mad callers. All they say is read the web site. We will not give you your money back. I was charged $249 for a number that is free from the IRS. I am not going to use it and see if I can get the IRS to do something. What kind of people have to rob people over the internet under the pretension of being the government?

I wish I had seen these reviews. I, too, thought it was an official site. The web address looks legit. I even double checked when it asked for payment. (Been a long time since I applied for an EIN. I didn't remember paying anything.) Bad enough that I've paid them, but they've got my credit card info AND my SSN. It's actually really scary.

Looks like a gov site but I noticed too late that it is ". Com" and not ". Gov". I thought the fee charged was a government charge for the service (but there is no fee if done by the actual irs). I guess, live and learn!

This site boarders on a hoax. Although they are a legit company they practically take the same questions that the IRS.gov site requires to recieve an EIN number for free and charges you a crazy amount. They are not providing any service for what they are charging because you still have to input the same information on their site. Save your self a ton of money and just get it for free from IRS.gov. Horrible business model!
