About ein-number.com: Who Runs It and How Facts Are Checked
ein-number.com is a private EIN filing and reference site, 1 of 4 sites run by the same founder. It prepares and files IRS Form SS-4 for $69 (Standard) or $99 (Fast) under a written accuracy guarantee, while the IRS itself charges $0. Every fact on every page cites an IRS form, instruction or statute, and the Updated date moves only after re-verification.
Who runs ein-number.com?
Zawwad Ul Sami, Founder, runs ein-number.com and its 3 sibling sites. He formed his own non-resident US LLC and EIN before building the filing service, and he writes and signs every article on all 4 sites.
The site is a private document preparation business, not a law firm, not an accounting firm, and not part of the IRS or any government agency. The postal address is 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, DE 19801. A person answers on WhatsApp at +1 929 421 9229.
The same person appears as the author in the Article schema of every page and as the founder in the Organization schema on this site, so the byline a reader sees and the byline a search engine reads are the same 1 name.
What does ein-number.com sell, and what does the IRS charge?
One service: preparing and filing IRS Form SS-4 so an EIN issues on the first attempt. Standard costs $69 and Fast costs $99. The IRS charges $0 for an EIN on all 4 of its own routes.
| Route | Price | Filed | Total time | Guarantee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IRS online (SSN or ITIN holders) | $0 | By the applicant | 15 minutes | None |
| IRS fax (Form SS-4) | $0 | By the applicant | 4 business days | None |
| IRS mail (Form SS-4) | $0 | By the applicant | About 4 weeks | None |
| ein-number.com Standard | $69 | By fax after a 2-person check | 7 to 10 business days | Accuracy, full refund |
| ein-number.com Fast | $99 | Within 24 hours, IRS call made | 7 business days | Accuracy + 24-hour filing |
An applicant with an SSN or ITIN and a US address loses nothing by self-filing at irs.gov. The service exists for the applicants the online tool turns away: founders with no SSN, who enter the word Foreign on line 7b and file by fax, and anyone whose first application came back with a reference number such as 101. Pricing detail is on the EIN cost page and the checkout is at checkout.
How are the facts on this site checked?
Every fee, deadline, fax line and phone number lives once in a facts file with its IRS source and verification date beside it, and pages import the value instead of retyping it. A build-time lint fails the site when a page states a figure without a source.

The IRS publishes no delivery time for Letter 147C and no upper bound on the fax route, so no page on this site states one. When an IRS page changes a number, the facts file changes in 1 commit, every page that imports it changes with it, and the Updated date on those pages moves to the day of the re-check.
Which sites belong to the same network?
Four sites, one operator, one author. Each site owns 1 topic cluster and links the other 3 in its footer, so a reader and a crawler both see the network declared rather than inferred.
| Site | Owns | Start here |
|---|---|---|
| ein-number.com | EIN lookup, verification and recovery: 147C, CP-575, EIN format, EIN vs ITIN/SSN/FEIN | EIN lookup |
| einforllc.co | EINs for LLCs | einforllc.co |
| einnumber.co | How to get an EIN | einnumber.co |
| wyomingllcformation.co | Wyoming LLC formation | wyomingllcformation.co |
Topics are not duplicated across the 4 sites. When 2 sites once covered the same question, the weaker page was merged into the stronger one and redirected with a permanent 301, so each query has exactly 1 answer page in the network.
How do you reach a person?
WhatsApp +1 929 421 9229. Quote the order reference from the confirmation email and the filing is found in 1 lookup. For an EIN not ordered here, the IRS line 800-829-4933 (Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time) is the only source of a Letter 147C.
Questions about the content of any page, including a figure you believe is out of date, are welcome on the same number. A correction that checks out against the IRS source is made in 1 commit and the page's Updated date moves with it. See the 147C letter page for the exact IRS call script and the verify an EIN number page for how banks and platforms confirm an EIN.
Frequently asked questions about ein-number.com?
Who owns ein-number.com?
ein-number.com is operated by the founder named on this page, Zawwad Ul Sami, who also runs the 3 sibling sites einforllc.co, einnumber.co and wyomingllcformation.co. The postal address is 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, DE 19801. The site is a private filing service with no connection to the IRS or any government agency.
What does ein-number.com charge?
Two tiers: Standard at $69, filed by fax after a second-person accuracy check, and Fast at $99, filed within 24 hours with the IRS phone follow-up made, 7 business days total. The IRS itself charges $0 for an EIN on every route, so the fee buys preparation, review and the written guarantee, not the number.
Is ein-number.com affiliated with the IRS?
No. ein-number.com is a private document preparation service and is not a law firm, an accounting firm, or a government agency. The IRS issues every EIN at $0, online in 15 minutes for applicants with an SSN or ITIN, by fax in 4 business days, and by mail in about 4 weeks.
Who writes the articles on this site?
Zawwad Ul Sami, Founder, writes and signs every article across the 4 network sites, and the Article schema on each page names the same person. No CPA, enrolled agent or attorney has reviewed the content yet, and no page claims one has. Each page lists the IRS or statutory documents it is built from under a Sources heading with 1 numbered link per document.
How are the facts on each page verified?
Every fee, deadline, fax number and phone line is stored once in a facts file and traced to an IRS instruction or statute, with the verification date recorded beside it. The last full re-verification was 2026-08-03 against the Instructions for Form SS-4 (Rev. December 2025). A page's Updated date moves only when a fact on it was re-checked or changed.
Which other sites belong to the same network?
Three: einforllc.co covers EINs for LLCs, einnumber.co covers how to apply for an EIN, and wyomingllcformation.co covers Wyoming LLC formation. ein-number.com owns the lookup, verification and recovery topics. Each site links the other 3 in its footer, and the 4 sites share 1 author and 1 sourcing policy.
What does the accuracy guarantee cover?
Every filing is double-checked before submission. If our error triggers an IRS rejection, we re-file at our cost until an EIN issues, otherwise full refund. The guarantee applies to both tiers, $69 and $99, and is written into the order confirmation sent within 1 hour of payment. It does not cover delays caused by the IRS itself, such as the 4-business-day fax turnaround or the 4-week mail route.
How do I reach a person?
WhatsApp +1 929 421 9229 reaches the team directly, and a human answers from the same number. Give the order reference from your confirmation email so the filing is found in 1 lookup. Questions about an EIN you did not order through this site are answered too; the IRS Business and Specialty Tax Line, 800-829-4933, remains the only source for a Letter 147C.
Which primary sources back this page?
Every fee, deadline, form number and phone line above is taken from the 3 official documents below. No third-party blog is cited.
