Template:EIN/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:EIN. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
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):

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
