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:

{{nowrap|Call: <nowiki>{{EIN|123456789}}</nowiki>}}
{{nowrap|Result: {{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):

{{nowrap|Call: <nowiki>{{EIN|012345678|123456789|234567890}}</nowiki>}}
{{nowrap|Result: {{EIN|012345678|123456789|234567890}}}}

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

{{nowrap|Call: <nowiki>{{EIN|012345678|123456789|234567890|leadout=and}}</nowiki>}}
{{nowrap|Result: {{EIN|012345678|123456789|234567890|leadout=and}}}}

The template also supports plain links using the {{para|plainlink}} parameter:

{{nowrap|Call: <nowiki>{{EIN|012345678|123456789|234567890|plainlink=yes}}</nowiki>}}
{{nowrap|Result: {{EIN|012345678|123456789|234567890|plainlink=yes}}}}

{{nowrap|Call: <nowiki>{{EIN|012345678|123456789|234567890|leadout=and|plainlink=yes}}</nowiki>}}
{{nowrap|Result: {{EIN|012345678|123456789|234567890|leadout=and|plainlink=yes}}}}
