You can do it on-line at IRS.GOV (here's the direct link to the EIN page). If you don't want to apply on-line (and get the number instantly), you can instead fill and send the form SS-4 (and wait for the number for several weeks to arrive in the mail). Make sure to read all the information and the instructions on the site to understand how to fill the form ...

but can I keep the same EIN and use it for my new business? Short answer: Yes (see this reference) Long answer: An EIN exists for the life of the business. So as long as that business exists you can use that EIN. If you change the name of the business you can still use the same EIN, because technically it is the same business – it’s just operating ...

I'm neither an accountant nor an attorney, so all the usual stipulations apply. It sounds like your previous venture (which never got off the ground) was essentially a sole proprietorship with a fictitious (DBA) name. The IRS website states that a sole proprietor doesn't have to get a new EIN simply on the basis of changing either the business name or ...

Yes, you will need an EIN. Every business is required to get an EIN, even if the business has no employees. The only exception is sole proprietors who can use their SSN if they choose to, but even in this case it is not recommended. Getting an EIN is free, and you can complete it in a matter of a few minutes online on the irs website. Here is another ...

what should I put for my business start date? In terms of filing for your EIN, the business start date is the day you formed your business (i.e. the day you registered your business with the state). It's not when your website goes live, or when you make your first sale. You can make an educated guess as to when those things will happen, but you can't ...

I assume the reason you setup a corporation for your software development business is for some limited liability protection. In other words if some software you wrote malfunctions they may get the corporate assets but not your house. Clearly a company can have multiple lines of business, big conglomerates do it all the time. There are however often ...

You can't file a DBA in New Jersey, if you've registered your company previously in NJ. However, you can register "Fictitious / Alternate Name" (which is basically the same thing). You can then officially use it for financial (banking), and advertising purposes. As of today, you can't file it online, but mail and fax (additional fees may apply) options only. ...

You file a DBA because you are doing business under a ficticious name. Your LLC can file multiple DBAs. DBAs are not a business form so they don't file taxes and I don't think you can get an EIN. The bank is going to want to know the legal entity and, especially these days, will probably want a copy of an official document - not a DBA notice. You can ...

They don't email you the PDF. They create it on the spot, and allow you to save it. So, I wouldn't waste my time searching for an IRS email. Here's what the confirmation page looks like: I don't remember the original name of the EIN PDF. It may be "EIN Confirmation Letter", as stated on the confirmation page. If that's not it, it may be something random. ...

1)Can a person with H1B (who has SSN)obtain EIN? (Employer ID). That is, to open a company and work as non-executive CEO. Non-executive, means no Coding. No full-time.

Also notify your bank and insurers of the new C-corp. and the new EIN. You can get hit with penalties if you don't notify insurers IN WRITING of the new EIN, since workers' comp and/or unemployment funds have to be under the correct number and the insurers in turn notify your state government, and the state government will think that you don't have coverage ...

Creating new entity and converting an existing entity are not the same. Do we need to notify/update our employees, clients and vendors about the new EIN? Yes. Is there a way to let the IRS know? Know what? You file a final tax return for the LLC (marking it as final on 1065 or as business closed on schedule C), and a first year return for the ...

As the LLC managing member you're not required to pay yourself a salary. You will be self employed, and fill Schedule C (if its a single member LLC not taxed as a corporation) or form 1065 (if its a multi-member LLC not taxed as a corporation). You can probably chose another reason for requesting EIN now, if its not because you have or going to have ...

It should be your office/place of records address. Basically, that's the address that when the IRS comes to audit you it should be able to find you at (i.e.: your home). IRS doesn't care about the agent of service, its a requirement of the State (depending on the services provided by your agent, you can give agent's address as the mailing address though). ...

However, if you receive an EIN but later determine you do not need the number (the new business never started up, for example), the IRS can close your business account. The EIN will still belong to ...

I have done this so yes it's possible to have it changed all though it may be bank specific based on their rules. Worst case you close your original account and open a new one with the EIN number. On the other part of your question concerning the same bank for commercial vs personal accounts I have thought about this a lot and have gotten advice from ...
