Three numbers, three agencies
Asking for the wrong number is a common reason a search comes back empty.

|---|---|---|
| Federal EIN | Internal Revenue Service | Identifies the business for federal tax. It is the same number in every state. |
| Business entity identification number | New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services (DORES) | Identifies the entity's record in the state registry. 10 digits |
| State tax account number | The state's tax agency | Issued separately for state taxes. It is not the EIN and not the registry number. |
