Dear I can not complete the 501(c)(3) exemption application until the your organization has obtianed an "employer identification number (EIN) from the IRS. The EIN application process is easy and can be done on-line. Once you have obtained it you should send it to me in an email. Go to the IRS website (irs.gov) and in the search bar at the top of the page type "EIN". After finding the link click it to go to the application page. Upon completion of the on-line application a PDF letter from the IRS is instantly generated by your computer stating what the EIN is (print it). Let me know if you have questions.
