The table below highlights the key differences and purpose each tax ID:

Employer Identification Number (EIN)	Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN)
You need an EIN if you:	An ITIN is issued by the IRS for federal tax purposes only.
Have employees	An ITIN doesn't:
Will need to pay employment, excise or alcohol, tobacco, and firearms taxes	Qualify you for Social Security benefits or the Earned Income Tax Credit
Withhold taxes on income, other than wages, paid to a non-resident alien	Provide or change immigration status
If you don’t need an EIN for federal tax purposes, you can still request one for banking or state tax purposes. EINs are not intended for other activities, such as state tax lien auctions, sales or lotteries.	Authorize you to work legally in the U.S.
You also need an EIN to operate other entities	Serve as identification outside the federal tax system
When you can use your EIN	Who's eligible for an ITIN
You can use your EIN immediately for most business needs. For example, when you:
Open a bank account	If you're a resident alien, nonresident alien or their spouse or dependent, you can apply for an ITIN regardless of immigration status.
Apply for business licenses	Resident alien or nonresident alien
File a tax return by mail	If you're not a U.S. citizen, your tax status can be either:
	Resident alien – If you were present in the U.S. for more than 183 days* (substantial presence test) or you’re a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. (green card test)
	Nonresident alien – If you don’t meet either the green card or substantial presence test for resident alien status
