A couple of you emailed me separately when I sent this alert on Dec. 23. So now here is this fun update:



I just tried the IRS EIN Online Application page and it is still down, even though the yellow box still says it is down until 7 a.m. Eastern TODAY (which passed many hours ago, except perhaps in The IRS Universe). When I optimistically click on the "Apply Online Now" button, it still errors out.



Anyone happen to have any inside news on if/when this is coming back up?



Thanks, Josh

FYI: I just logged on to get an EIN and discovered the IRS's online system for obtaining EINs will be down from 5 p.m. Eastern today 12/23 until 7 a.m. Eastern on Monday, 1/4 (meaning all of next week at year-end).

Just thought it kind to share, as this is not what I'd call "thoughtful" of the IRS to do at year-end. Best, Josh
