100% REFUNDED email from the crooks
100% REFUNDED - email them this:Dear Tax-IDs.com Support and Legal Department,On 11/21/2025, I paid $339 through your website for help obtaining an Employer Identification Number (EIN). Because of your site’s design and search placement, I believed I was using an official or IRS-authorized service. I later learned the identical EIN service is provided free by the IRS at IRS.gov.Your site and practices are deceptive because you:1. Imitate the look and language of official IRS / government pages, likely leading consumers to believe they are on an official site.2. Charge a fee for a service the IRS provides for free, without clear, prominent disclosure that your site is private and that the same service is free at IRS.gov.3. Collect highly sensitive personal and business data, including Social Security numbers, under these misleading conditions.4. Operate amid many complaints about IRS-like appearance, high fees for a free service, refusal of refunds, and unauthorized “compliance” or “annual” charges.My payment was obtained through deceptive practices. I therefore demand:1. Immediate full refund of $339 paid on 11/21/2025 to the original method of payment.2. Written confirmation that the refund has been processed.3. Written confirmation that all of my personal and business data, including any Social Security number or similar identifiers, has been permanently deleted from your systems, except for minimal records required by law for accounting.If I do not receive written confirmation of a full refund and data deletion within 7 calendar days of this email, I will, without further notice:• File complaints with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the IRS, state Attorneys General, and other consumer protection agencies.• Submit complaints to Google for deceptive ads and listings, and file abuse reports with your domain registrar and hosting provider for facilitating misleading activity that targets consumers.• Launch a public awareness campaign warning others about tax-ids.com and similar imposter sites, including posts on social media, consumer forums, and review platforms, and encourage others to file complaints and chargebacks.• Consult with counsel experienced in consumer fraud and class actions regarding claims for fraud, unjust enrichment, and deceptive trade practices, and explore participation in or initiation of a class action against tax-ids.com and associated entities.• File a chargeback and fraud complaint with my credit card issuer, with evidence that I was misled into paying for a service that is free at IRS.gov.All relevant evidence is being preserved and will be used to support regulatory complaints, civil claims, and any legal proceedings if this is not resolved in good faith.To avoid escalation, you must process a full refund of $339 to my original method of payment and email written confirmation of the refund and data deletion within 10 days of this message.If you do not comply, I will proceed on all avenues listed above.Regards,
Frank

I asked for a refund immediately after…
I asked for a refund immediately after I clicked bc I thought it was going to a verification page but it charged me. I wanted to see some verification to un click anything extra they were trying to charge me for (unless I decided I wanted it) because FILING FOR A TAX ID IS FREE with the IRS. They are duping you into this as it is no more work than the real irs website. I was thinking I was going to get access to extra benefits and decide if I wanted them but no. And they said they would not issue a refund even though I called immediately (3 times and you could not leave a voicemail). Do not use this. I’m reporting to the BBB.

Totally Deceptive Company
This company is totally deceptive. They have designed their site and logo to look very much like the IRS. I thought I was on the IRS site filling out an IRS application, but I was on their site and ended up paying $329.00 for a free service. On top of that I had to go back and do hours of work to get the correct physical address and information from the actual IRS. I have already attempted to block their charge with American Express and will call the company as well. I'm a Veteran attempting to open a small business...unfortunate that such practices like this are out there to take advantage of people.

It’s not cool
It’s not cool. EIN Numbers are free from IRS. This site tricks customers to pay through their third party service. Be careful to make sure you are engaging directly with the IRS.

Don't pay for what you can get for free
This company is blatantly taking advantage of uninformed consumers, barely disclosing the fact that they are a 3rd-party service. They charging hundreds of dollars for something you can get for free in the same amount of time directly through the IRS website. They adamantly refuse to offer refunds after they have done you the great "service" of ripping you off.

Just like everyone who reviewed this experience with irs-ein-tax-id.com, I thought I was on the irs site trying to get my ein for my business and thought it would cost at the most $26. The next day, they debited $245

Beware! Scammers
Scam! They're Charging To Do A Free Service!!! Yesterday, when trying to apply for an EIN, I'd Googled to find out what to do. First site that appeared was irs-ein-tax-id.com. when visiting the site, their first disclosure makes it sound as if they're a contracted agency. Working off the fact of how badly people want to start their own business through these times, they set up their scam perfectly. First initial charge is $250. They then sent an email stating "File your EIN now and take advantage of the tax credits available to Sole Proprietors and save $85.00." This made things seriously sound like a break. Then upon visiting, they'd even set another discount to charge $160. Later, after finding out I needed an LLC instead, I checked the official IRS site. This was when I'd learned this is a free service. When I reviewed their site, this company waits until the disclaimer to mention their not affiliated, and wrote it in dark lettering, to draw your attention away. After doing more research, I found out that they also charge different prices to people in the scheme to Reel people in! When I requested a refund, and also spoke on how they charge different prices to others, they refused to do so, or even comment on pricing. Beware and please read this! irs-ein-tax-id.com

Just like everyone who reviewed this…
Just like everyone who reviewed this experience with irs-ein-tax-id.com, I thought I was on the irs site trying to get my ein for my business and thought it would cost at the most $26. The next day, they debited $245 and when I called, they credited $245 and THEN they debited another $245. So I called about this and was told that I authorized this transaction under "terms and conditions". So I called again, they are closed and I just spent even more time with my bank. I am notifying the FDIC.
