This template provides an external link to a search of the Employer Identification Number (EIN)—also known as the Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) or the Federal Tax Identification Number—used by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the United States.
Dashes are stripped.
As of mid-2021, the search on the IRS web site only returns results if the EIN corresponds to a Tax Exempt Organization.
