Federal Tax Id / Employer Identification Number
A Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) – also referred to as a Federal Tax Identification Number – is like a social security number for a business entity. An EIN is required to open a business bank account, file tax returns, and hire employees.

A corporation is a legal entity separate from the persons that form it. Corporations exist as a product of corporate law, and their rules balance the interests of the shareholders that invest their capital and the employees who contribute their labor.

The defining feature of a corporation is its legal independence from the people who create it. If a corporation fails, shareholders normally only stand to lose their investment, and employees will lose their jobs, but neither will be further liable for debts that remain owing to the corporation's creditors unless they have given personal guarantees (i.e. co-signed for loans or credit).

Despite not being natural persons, corporations are recognized by the law to have rights and responsibilities like actual people. Corporations can exercise human rights, and may be responsible for human rights violations. Corporations can even be convicted of criminal offenses, such as fraud and manslaughter.
