Lost your EIN confirmation letter (CP 575)? How to get a replacement (Form 147C)

When you need replacement

Banks (Mercury, Relay) and platforms (Stripe, Amazon) often request CP 575 during onboarding. If you lost the original, Form 147C is the replacement.

147C is functionally equivalent to CP 575 for nearly all purposes.

How to request 147C

Call IRS Business and Specialty Tax Line: 800-829-4933 (or 267-941-1099 from outside US). Have ready: LLC's EIN, legal name, formation date, owner identity verification. Request Form 147C.

IRS agent verifies your identity and sends 147C by mail or fax.

Timing and cost

Cost: free. Timing: 1-2 weeks to receive by mail; faster by fax if you provide fax number. Plan ahead before bank/platform deadlines.
