I thought that I was on the IRS site when I recently purchased the EIN for my high school reunion committee (now required by law). I was appalled to find out that I could have done the same thing for FREE, whereas my committee paid your company $147 for the privilege. In addition, I see that I could have paid an even lower cost on your site, but that option was not available when I went to make payment. Very disappointing and deceptive practices, in my view.
This website is a scam. They took money with out my permission after they sent an email saying that all my info was erased. Then when I emailed them TWICE about a refund they sent me an automatic email BOTH TIMES saying "how great they are." If I could I could I would give them ZERO stars for lying and taking money and iformation. This company is a fraud and who ever created it should be ashamed. Don't use this website.
Very Easy to apply for a Tax number. Very surprised at how quick it came through, I couldn't open my website until I had a business bank acct. And I couldn't open my bank acct. Until I got a Tax ID number... so very happy!
Considering my limited high-tech expertise, without your patient and kindhearted approach, I couldn't get the EIN by myself. Regarding my records experiences with your Organization, I grade you A+.
Thank You.

Not knowing exactly what to do cost me so much time and effort. I'm thankful for the way things have been handled since I found your website.
May all of you as preparers be blessed as time savers!
This could not have been much easier or faster. I just set up my business today and got the EIN number within a very short period of time. It has been a great experience.
I thought the overall swiftness at getting this ID was awesome. However, someone
Like me who is on a fixed (and low) income could stand the price to be somewhat
Lower. Thank you.
The representative worked quickly to help assist me with establishing an EIN. They were poised and patient. I would recommend this service to everyone.
This website took money for the application of an EIN. The IRS charges nothing and provides a confirmation letter immediately. Your site says it will take 4 week. That is absolutely ridiculous.
Peter R.,
The fee applied was for the service we provide as your authorized third party designee in obtaining an EIN number on your behalf from the IRS. We do not charge for the EIN as it is an IRS generated and assigned number. We apologize if at the time of your visit our services were unclear to you. The confirmation letter or Form CP-575 is an IRS generated letter you receive from the IRS granting your EIN and linking it with your legal business name. 4 weeks is the standard time supplied by the IRS for receiving the CP-575 by mail. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at 888-629-9001, M-F 9:00AM - 7:00PM EST. One of our dedicated customer care specialists will be more than happy to assist you.
How helpful! No unnecessary steps! No advertising! Just direct information and prompt service. If all of government worked this way, it would be a blessing!
Fabulous. Two of the most professional and courteous women I have ever dealt with. They were so patient and helpful. A heartfelt thank you.

Process was fairly easy, not sure why I would need and Employer Identification Number to
Close out part of my departed wife's estate business. I did have to pay $129.00.
I was dreading the long process of trying to get an EIN Number. Not at all what I expected. The agent who assisted me was very friendly, helpful and professional. Thank you Louisa for your help.
THE WORST ONLINE EXPERIENCE.
DECEIVING ADVERTISING TO OBTAIN EIN# INSTANTLY AND ACTUALLY YOU'LL GET IT NEXT DAY AND YOU CANNOT EVEN PRINT IT, THEREFORE YOU CAN'T OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT AS OPPOSED TO APPLYING DIRECTLY TO IRS FOR FREE. MORE SO, YOU'LL EXPERIENCE ALL SORT OF FRUSTRATIONS AND FEEL CHEATED ONLY AFTER THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY. EVEN ONE STAR IS TOO MUCH
Needed a EIN number. No one knew how to process. Looked online for estate ID and the process was self explanatory. Someone did a good job setting this up.
Using GovSimplified was easy and fast. When I encountered a mistake (wrongly listed version of my name) a phone call quickly resolved the issue and did not slow down the process in any way. Thanks.
Very professional and fast. Even though problems when my client number got miss stop with another client number... the problem was solved in about 1 to 1.30 hours
Outstanding willingness to assist by your representative "Michael". His professionalism facilitated the entire process. You are most fortunate to have such a competent individual on your staff. CBD
I was told I needed the EIN to get some payments from my deceased wife's employer.
The Site is more business oriented than personal.
It would be helpful it selections for individuals were noted.
