OUR SERVICE
EZ Filing Solutions provides our Services as followed, through our Website (collectively, called the “Services”): We act as a “Third Party Designee” as referenced and described in the Form SS-4 instructions to help you obtain your Federal Tax Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) in a timely manner. We work only on your behalf and we are not affiliated in any way with government or regulatory agencies of any kind, including the IRS. We provide a paid service in which our agents or employees prepare and submit our your Employer Identification Number Applications (“EIN Applications”) to the IRS, upon your purchase of the service and on your behalf. Alternatively, for free, you may visit the IRS.gov website and complete an EIN Application yourself.
FEE AND REFUNDS
EZ Filing Solutions provides our Services at rates listed on our Website, which are incorporate herein by reference. All amounts for services are due and payable in accordance with our EZ Filing Solutions’s invoices.
EZ Filing Solutions does everything possible to process your application within one business day, provided all information you provide to us is accurate. If you feel the Services were not to your expectations, please contact us for a full refund less a $10 processing fee, with no questions asked. For incomplete orders due to inaccurate information provided to us, your will be contacted via email by EZ Filing Solutions so that we can attempt to rectify the issue. We will then try one additional time to obtain an EIN for you on your behalf. If there is another error at that point, you will receive a full refund on the next business day less a $10 processing fee.
For EIN applications that result in an IRS Reference 101 error, EZ Filing Solutions will contact you via e-mail and provide in that email the steps that we will take on manually filing your EIN application with the IRS. You will receive the e-mail that includes a completed SS-4 Form PDF on the same day that the IRS Reference 101 error occurred, and the PDF will require you sign it electronically. After we have the PDF with your electronic signature, EZ Filing Solutions will continue processing your EIN with the IRS. Then, you will receive your EIN via e-mail in 7 to10 business days, due to a manual processing wait time associated with all Reference 101 errors.
In the event there is an additional error with the application and EZ Filing Solutions cannot process your application as your Third Party Designee, we will promptly issue a refund of your Service fee minus a $25 processing fee.
