Description

I paid $319 to SimplEeTaxFiling for an EIN application on [date]. Their website appeared to be an official IRS service and did not adequately disclose that the IRS offers this service completely FREE. The IRS website explicitly states "Don't pay for an EIN" and provides free EIN applications at IRS.gov. Had I known this was a paid third-party service with a free government alternative, I would not have used it. I contacted SimplEeTaxFiling on [date] requesting a refund, but they refused, stating the order was completed. The service provided no additional value beyond what the IRS offers for free.
