Hello, I tried to apply for EIN online but they required me to fill out an SS-4 form and mail it in. It has been a little over 4 weeks now and I still haven’t received my number. If I call the assistance line, I can’t even get put on hold they just say they are too busy. I need to start utilizing my EIN to get my bank account and get set up with companies that will be paying me. Does anyone know how to help me out?
