Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template provides an external link to a search of the Employer Identification Number (EIN)—also known as the Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) or the Federal Tax Identification Number—used by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the United States.

As of mid-2018, the search on the IRS web site only returns results if the EIN corresponds to a Tax Exempt Organization.

Usage

The template requires an EIN number to be given:

Call: {{EIN|123456789}}
Result: <templatestyles src="Module:Citation/CS1/styles.css" />EIN 123456789

This template also supports up to 9 EINs, so the template comes in helpful to conveniently format lists of EINs (for example, in tables):

Call: {{EIN|012345678|123456789|234567890}}
Result: <templatestyles src="Module:Citation/CS1/styles.css" />EIN 012345678, 123456789, 234567890

For leadouts different from the default "," this can be specified using the optional |leadout= parameter:

Call: {{EIN|012345678|123456789|234567890|leadout=and}}
Result: <templatestyles src="Module:Citation/CS1/styles.css" />EIN 012345678, 123456789 and 234567890

The template also supports plain links using the |plainlink= parameter:

Call: {{EIN|012345678|123456789|234567890|plainlink=yes}}
Result: <templatestyles src="Module:Citation/CS1/styles.css" />012345678, 123456789, 234567890
Call: {{EIN|012345678|123456789|234567890|leadout=and|plainlink=yes}}
Result: <templatestyles src="Module:Citation/CS1/styles.css" />012345678, 123456789 and 234567890
