On Aug. 18, 2025, the IRS updated the Apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) [ [link removed] ] online application as part of ongoing modernization efforts to improve taxpayer service. The modernized application features a new look and web experience. Federal, state and local government entities can now use the application to receive an EIN. Although the application has a new look, the overall functionality remains the same.

*3.  News from the Justice Department’s Tax Division*

________________________________________________________________________

A Nevada tax return preparer, Michael J. Moore, of Las Vegas, pleaded guilty [ [link removed] ] to advising clients to commit tax evasion. According to court documents and statements made in court, Moore operated a tax and accounting business known as X Tax Pros. From 2015 through April 2025, Moore promoted a fraudulent tax avoidance scheme called the “Special Tax Shelter Strategy,” promising clients if they paid him certain “fees,” he could prepare a tax return that eliminated the clients’ taxes owed to the IRS and, in most cases, create a large tax refund. Moore charged the clients tens of thousands of dollars in fees, which the clients paid from the refunds they received from the IRS.

In total, Moore caused a tax loss to the United States of more than $3.5 million. Moore is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 8 and faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
