When you start a business or open a commercial bank account, one of the first documents your bank or lender will ask for is official proof of your Employer Identification Number (EIN). Historically, the IRS issued your original CP575 EIN confirmation letter only once when your business was registered.

If you misplaced that original letter, getting an official replacement meant calling the IRS, enduring long hold times, and waiting weeks for a physical Letter 147C to arrive in the mail.

The IRS Digital Upgrade: Instant CP575 Downloads

The IRS recently expanded its online Business Tax Account (BTA) system to solve this major pain point for business owners. If you operate a sole proprietorship, partnership, S-corporation, or LLC, you can now log in directly to your IRS Business Tax Account and download an official digital CP575 EIN Verification Notice on demand. Banks, credit unions, lenders, and state agencies accept this digital notice as valid, official confirmation of your federal tax identity.

What You Can Do in Your IRS Business Tax Account:

• Download Official Tax Records: Access your digital CP575 notice and official business tax transcripts without waiting on hold.
• Track Account Balances & Filings: View total balances owed, tax history, and pending returns by tax year.
• Review IRS Notices: Read digital copies of official correspondence sent to your business.

How to Set Up Your Account Correctly

To register, an officer, managing member, or sole proprietor must verify their identity using standard IRS online credentials. Once established, you can view your tax profile and authorize trusted tax professionals to view transcripts or handle filings on your behalf.
