Why was my EIN application delayed or rejected?

Common issues that slow things down.

Updated over 3 months ago

Typical reasons:

  • Incomplete, inconsistent or incorrect information on the application

  • Conflicting or duplicate records for the business name or responsible party

  • Using an address format the IRS system does not like

  • For foreign owners, extra manual review by IRS staff

If there is a problem, we review the IRS feedback and let you know what needs to be fixed or resent.
