I need to find an EIN number for Fidelity Investments as I'm working off a transcript from IRS and it only lists last 4 which are 8107. I'd like to E-file the return so was wondering if anyone knows how I can find an EIN for Fidelity. If not guess we will mail the return but thought I'd try to find the number

Have you or the client tried calling the specific company for the EIN?Always cite your source for support to defend your opinion -
A lot of items on the return do NOT require an EIN. Is it wages? Then call their human resources department. But, if it's interest or dividends or..., then you don't need it.Comment

Wages - from Fidelity? I highly doubt it. If from a pension plan - YES, especially if there's Federal Withholding Tax to claim.Uncle Sam, CPA, EA. ARA, NTPI FellowComment

Not wages, it's retirement 1099R and yes there was federal withholdingComment

Long time back I made the mistake of using a EIN from the internet for a company to e-file and it was wrong and e-file was rejected. Now I will not e-file any document unless the EIN is provided by the company.Taxes after all are the dues that we pay for the privileges of membership in an organized society. - FDRComment

Such a simple question and at first thought the Original Post was meant to be comical.Originally posted by ATSMAN View Post
Should contact the company that has the EIN for the correct answer for the client’s document.Last edited by TAXNJ; 08-08-2019, 03:41 PM.Always cite your source for support to defend your opinionComment

Thank you for your help Gene V. I do believe this is the correct number. I did ask the customer to call and he gave me this number as his own personal tax ID number. Some people just don't understandComment
