Department of Revenue Expands Tax Registration Service
Under a cooperative federal-state program, Massachusetts
Department of Revenue (DOR) now offers complete "one-stop"
tax registration service for new businesses. When business owners register
for Massachusetts tax accounts, they can also obtain a Federal Employer
Identification Number (FEIN).
"We are pleased to provide our business taxpayers this additional
service," said Frederick A. Laskey, Commissioner, Massachusetts
Department of Revenue. "When the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
offered us the chance to assign FEINs to our Massachusetts taxpayers,
we agreed immediately. We see the ability to assign the FEINs as a natural
extension of the services we offer new businesses." This new service
is available in six DOR locations throughout the state.
Applying for a FEIN is one of the first steps in starting a business.
Owners need a FEIN to open bank accounts, make federal employment tax
deposits and file federal tax returns. Last year, the IRS processed
over 44,000 FEIN requests for new Massachusetts businesses. The DOR
handles registrations for Massachusetts sales and use tax, employer
income tax withholding, corporation, partnership, and fuels taxes.
To obtain a FEIN, business owners must complete Federal Form SS-4, Application
for Employer Identification Number, available from the IRS or DOR. FEINs
may be obtained at the following DOR locations, Monday through Friday
from 8:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
