Three numbers, three agencies
Asking for the wrong number is a common reason a search comes back empty.
| Number | Issued by | What it identifies |
|---|---|---|
| Federal EIN | Internal Revenue Service | Identifies the business for federal tax. It is the same number in every state. |
| Business ID | Indiana Secretary of State, Business Services Division | Identifies the entity's record in the state registry. |
| Indiana Taxpayer Identification Number (TID) | Indiana Department of Revenue | The Department of Revenue issues the state tax account through INBiz and INTIME, separate from the Secretary of State business ID. The federal EIN is issued by the IRS. |
