It will also ask about future expansion plans and previous IRS history.

Business owners need to provide the contact information about the business in Oklahoma, the type of business, what products or services the business is offering and the reason why the business owner is applying for a tax ID.

How can I get a Tax ID in Oklahoma?

• There are two ways a business owner can get a tax ID in Oklahoma. The first way is to obtain the SS-4 form from the IRS' website and fill it out with a pen. Once it has been filled out, put it in an envelope and send it in to the IRS. You will then get a tax ID in the mail from the IRS two weeks after applying for the tax ID. The second method is to contact the IRS by phone and tell the representative that you want to get a tax ID. The representative will ask you a list of questions regarding your Oklahoma business, which are the same questions that can be found on the SS-4 form. You will get the tax ID immediately after the interview session.

How do I find the nearest IRS office in Oklahoma?

The website allows you to locate an IRS office in Oklahoma and narrow down your search to a specific city or town. The website will even present you with the services offered at these locations, so you do not visit a location to find out that it does not provide the services you need.
