CP575 Form Overview
The CP575 form is a notice from the Internal Revenue Service confirming that you have been granted an Employer Identification Number (EIN). The EIN is a nine-digit tax ID number used for filing your federal payroll taxes.
The CP575 serves as proof of important details about your business that you’ll need for taxes, banking, and compliance.
You can’t open a business bank account or file taxes without the CP575. The IRS sends the CP575 automatically to the mailing address on your EIN application approximately two weeks after approval. The IRS does not provide duplicates, so keep the original CP575 in a safe place.
If you lose your CP575, you can request an IRS Letter 147C to verify your EIN by calling the IRS business center.
