[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Tax ID

Posted: 8/22/2011 9:46:40 AM EDT

So I have an odd kinda question. I have been put in charge of some banking for my Church. The man who had it before has his health going down and gave it up. Question is, is there a way to find out if you have a Tax ID and what it is? He said he thinks we do but I cant find it in any of the boat load of records. I need this for setting up a checking account and he closed the account where he was at which was set up many many moons ago. Any help is appreciated !
Thanks

Call the IRS.

Or if there are people on the payroll, ask them to provide it off their pay stub/W2

Look at the third step, that's the number to call. Tax ID = EIN number for most types of businesses. That should get you going.

Also contact the Georgia dept of revenue for your state tax id.

I thought churches were tax exempt?

It is but apparently they need this to prove that the Church exist.
