[WSBAPT] Requesting probate estate EIN from IRS

[John J. Sullivan]

I had that happen once last year. I think I resolved it over the phone. It didn’t take 45 days, although that may be a COVID thing.

He was required to fax an SS-4 form to the IRS instead, and was informed that it would take up to 45 days to have the EIN issued.  Does anyone know of a shortcut for this process if the online application doesn’t work?
