Disclosures

Not a government website

standardfilings.com is operated by Standard Business Services LLC, a private document-preparation and filing company. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the U.S. Department of the Treasury, or any other federal or state government agency.

The free option, stated plainly

Every document and registration we help with can be obtained directly from the relevant government agency without using our service:

• An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is issued by the IRS at no cost. You can apply yourself at irs.gov.
• LLC formations and annual reportscan be filed directly with your state's Secretary of State (or equivalent) for only the state's own filing fee.

Our fees are for our services: preparing your application in plain language, checking it for common errors, submitting it on your behalf, and supporting you until it's complete.

How we file on your behalf

For EIN applications, Standard Business Services LLC acts as your third-party designee, as provided for on IRS Form SS-4. This means you authorize us, with an electronic signature during your application, to prepare your SS-4 and receive your EIN from the IRS on your behalf. That authorization ends when your EIN is issued.

Not a law firm or accountancy firm

Standard Business Services LLC is not a law firm and is not an accountancy firm. We do not provide legal, financial, or tax advice. Information on this website is general in nature; for advice about your situation, consult a licensed attorney or tax professional.

Fees and refunds

Our service fees are always displayed before you pay, separately from any government fee. Government fees, where they exist, are passed through at cost. Our refund policy and money-back guarantee describe exactly when and how you get your money back.
