Change Summary
Gusto updated contact email addresses in its privacy policy on April 19, 2026. Arbitration opt-out requests now go to legal-opt-outs@gusto.com instead of a previous address, and general inquiries now route to support@gusto.com. These are administrative changes to how you reach the company; they do not alter your rights or obligations under the policy itself.

18973EIN Application Service Supplemental Terms Version Version 3.0 (Current) Version 2.0 Version 1.0 Effective April 16th 2026 Download Table of Contents Last Updated: April 15, 2026 These Supplemental Terms ("Supplemental Terms") govern your use of the EIN Application Service offered by Gusto, Inc.
18974("Gusto," "we," or "us") and supplement the Gusto Terms of Service (the "Terms of Service").
18975In the event of a conflict between these Supplemental Terms and the Terms of Service, these Supplemental Terms control with respect to the EIN Application Service.
18976Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in the Terms of Service. 1.
18977Service Description and Scope The EIN Application Service is a paid service through which Gusto facilitates the submission of an Application for Employer Identification Number (IRS Form SS-4) to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS").
18978The EIN Application Service includes the collection of the information required by the IRS, submission of your application, and delivery of your assigned EIN upon receipt from the IRS.
18979The EIN Application Service is an administrative filing service.
18980It does not include tax advice, legal advice, entity formation, registered agent services, or any services beyond the submission of your EIN application.
18981Gusto is not a law firm, and nothing in the EIN Application Service constitutes legal, tax, or financial advice.
18982You should consult a qualified professional for advice specific to your situation.
18983You are the applicant on your EIN application.
18984Gusto facilitates the transmission of your self-directed application to the IRS but does not act as your third-party designee, representative, or agent before the IRS.
18985You are responsible for responding to any IRS correspondence or inquiries regarding your application.
18986Upon successful processing of your application, your EIN will be made available in your Gusto account. 2.
18987Data Sharing and Privacy To process your EIN application, Gusto collects certain sensitive personal information, including your Social Security Number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number ("SSN/TIN"), legal name, address, and other information required by the IRS on Form SS-4 (collectively, "EIN Application Data").
18988Gusto may share your EIN Application Data with third-party service providers engaged by Gusto solely to facilitate the submission and processing of your EIN application.
18989Such providers are contractually obligated to use your EIN Application Data only for that purpose and are prohibited from disclosing or retaining it for any other purpose.
18990Gusto will also transmit your EIN Application Data to the IRS as part of the application process.
18991Your use of the EIN Application Service constitutes your express consent to the collection, use, and sharing of your EIN Application Data as described in this Section and in the Gusto Privacy Policy. 3.
18992Payment The EIN Application Service is a one-time service available for the fee displayed at checkout.
18993Payment is collected at the time of purchase through Stripe, our third-party payment processor.
18994Your payment transaction is also subject to Stripe's terms, which are presented at checkout.
18995Applicable taxes, if any, will be calculated and collected by Stripe as Merchant of Record. 4.
18996Refund Policy The EIN Application Service fee is non-refundable.
18997Upon completion of your purchase, your EIN application is submitted to the IRS for processing, and the filing service is considered complete.
18998No refunds or credits will be issued for completed submissions.
18999If Gusto fails to submit your application due to an error solely attributable to Gusto, Gusto will, at its option, resubmit the application at no additional cost or issue a refund of the service fee.
19000This is your sole remedy for such a failure. 5.
19001Customer Responsibility for Accuracy You represent and warrant that all information you provide in connection with the EIN Application Service, including all EIN Application Data, is true, accurate, complete, and current as of the date of submission.
19002You are solely responsible for: (a) Ensuring that the information provided in your EIN application is correct and complete, including the identification of the responsible party as required by the IRS.
19003(b) Reviewing any EIN confirmation or correspondence received from the IRS and promptly notifying Gusto of any errors or discrepancies.
19004(c) Complying with all applicable IRS requirements, including the obligation to report changes to your responsible party or business information to the IRS within sixty (60) days using IRS Form 8822-B.
19005Gusto has no liability for any consequences arising from inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information you provide. 6.
19006Limitation of Liability The EIN Application Service facilitates the submission of your EIN application to the IRS.
19007Gusto does not guarantee that the IRS will approve your application, assign an EIN within any particular timeframe, or process your application without delay or error.
19008You acknowledge that: (a) The IRS is solely responsible for reviewing, processing, and approving or rejecting EIN applications, and Gusto has no control over IRS processing times, systems, or decisions.
19009(b) Gusto shall not be liable for any loss, damage, cost, or expense arising from or related to (i) the rejection, delay, or denial of your EIN application by the IRS, (ii) any IRS system outage, error, or unavailability, (iii) any inaccuracy in your EIN Application Data that you provided, or (iv) your inability to use an EIN for any intended purpose.
19010(c) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Gusto's total aggregate liability arising out of or related to the EIN Application Service shall not exceed the fees paid by you to Gusto for the EIN Application Service. 7.
19011General These Supplemental Terms are governed by the same governing law and dispute resolution provisions set forth in the Terms of Service.
