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 | New Hampshire Department of State, Corporation Division | Identifies the entity's record in the state registry. Numeric with no prefix, for example 630873 |
| State tax account number | The state's tax agency | Issued separately for state taxes. It is not the EIN and not the registry number. |
