What is an EIN, and why do I need it?

How Taproot Plus uses your EIN to confirm your organization's eligibility.

Last updated on 05 Oct, 2026

An EIN (Employer Identification Number), also called a Federal Tax Identification Number, is a unique nine-digit number the IRS assigns to organizations operating in the United States.

When a US-based nonprofit creates a Taproot Plus account, we use its EIN to confirm that it's recognized as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. That's one of the ways we confirm eligibility for Taproot Plus.

Can't find your EIN? It's listed on your IRS determination letter and on your organization's Form 990.
