To obtain a Federal Tax ID (EIN) for a new Toastmasters club:

1. The EIN number can only be requested when all New Club Charter paperwork has been received at Toastmasters International.
   
   • NOTE: TI cannot submit a request with just the Application to Organize Forms
2. Once completed paperwork is received, Toastmasters International will submit a SS4 Form to the IRS with the Club information which they will ensure is submitted correctly, club name, club number, etc.
3. The club will be notified by the IRS what the EIN number will be via letter which will be sent to both the club and Toastmasters International
4. This request can take 2-4 weeks.
5. Once the Club receives the EIN number, the club can set up a bank account in the clubs name as Non-Profit under the Toastmasters International umbrella.
