IRS/EIN FAQ

1.       Does IHQ have my chapter/alumni club’s Employer ID (EIN) letter?

a.      If your chapter/colony/alumni club was started prior to 2012 IHQ does not have a copy of this letter on file. If you have this letter, please feel free to email it to IHQ so it can be added to your chapter’s file. IHQ does have records of the number, so if you just need the number contact IHQ, and ask for the number.

2.      My group does not have an EIN, or I don’t know what the EIN is; what do I do?

a.      It is each group’s responsibility to obtain/maintain its own EIN, and documentation of it. If your group has a previous chapter designation, or is reactivating an inactive alumni club, please call the IRS first to inquire about the account at 1-(877)-829-5500 and follow the menu for “exempt organization notices”. If your group has no previous chapter designation (Octaton series), you are a new alumni club, or if your previous designation chapter EIN has been deleted by the IRS, click HERE for instructions on obtaining a new one.
