Form 990: Preparer's EIN not shown

🔍 Form 990: Preparer's EIN not shown

This behavior is expected. The preparer’s EIN is not displayed in certain situations because it is by design and follows IRS instructions.

⚠️ Where to Find the IRS Instructions

You can find the relevant information in the IRS Form instructions:

  • Form 990 instructions: Page 10
  • Form 990-EZ instructions: Page 22

đź“ť Explanation (Why the Preparer's EIN May Not Appear)

This is by design, following IRS instructions.

The paid preparer must enter the preparer’s identifying number and the firm’s EIN only if filing Form 990 for a section 4947(a)(1) nonexempt charitable trust that is not filing Form 1041, U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts.

The preparer’s identifying number is:

  • The preparer’s taxpayer identification number (PTIN) if obtained, or
  • The preparer’s social security number (SSN)
