Overview
In order to complete setup of SMS for Audience Activation, Fullpath will need your dealership's Employer Identification Number (EIN). When configuring marketing and communication based programs, it's a typical request to confirm the businesses identification, particularly when a 3rd party is sending messages on your behalf.
Fullpath cannot send text messages on your dealership's behalf without registering an EIN to confirm your dealership is a legitimate business contacting customers/ potential customers for legitimate purposes.
What is an EIN?
A federal tax ID number, or an EIN, is a nine-digit number that identifies your company with the IRS. This nine-digit identifier is a bit like a Social Security number (SSN), but for your business. Your administrator or financial officers will likely have this information.
How to Find My EIN Online?
- Check Your EIN Confirmation Letter: The IRS will notify you when it approves your EIN application. Depending on how you apply, you may receive a confirmation letter with your EIN online at the time it was issued or via mail or email.
- Check Other Places Your EIN May Be Recorded: Aside from confirmation letters from the IRS, you may be able to find a copy of your EIN on other important documents. For example, you might want to take a look at previously filed tax returns. Or you might look over old financing documents, like applications for business loans or lines of credit.
- Call the IRS: A third way to look up your EIN is to call the IRS. You can reach out to the Business and Specialty Tax line by calling 800-829-4933. The department is open Monday through Friday between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm local time.
