What is CP-575?

The CP-575 is a notice from the Internal Revenue Service confirming that you have been granted an EIN (Employer Identification Number). The EIN is sometimes also referred to as FEIN, or Federal Employer Identification Number. The CP-575 letter (sometimes also called an EIN confirmation letter) includes important tax information about your small business, including your:
  1. EIN, the nine-digit tax ID number used for filing your federal payroll taxes
  2. Business name
  3. Business’s official filing address
  4. Federal tax forms your company is required to file (such as Form 941, Form 940, and Form 1120)
