It seems that half of time I try to get an EIN for a trust (deceased taxpayer) via the IRS online portal, I get to the end and it says "We apologize for the inconvenience, but based on the information provided we are unable to provide you with an EIN through this online assistant. "
Sometimes, I will go back in a few days, and it works fine. Anybody else have the same experience?
Is it something I am doing?
