Do I Need a New EIN?

Hi there,

 

I formed a single-member LLC in New York and obtained an EIN shortly after. I believe the LLC was taxed as a disregarded entity. Later, I filed a form with the IRS to change the tax classification to a C-corporation. In this case, do I need to obtain a new EIN, or can I continue using the EIN that was issued after the LLC’s formation? The ownership and structure of the business have not changed — only the federal tax classification.

 

Thank you!

you don't need a new EIN if you already have one for your LLC and you're only changing your tax election to a C corp.

Thank you so much! Do I need to get a new EIN if I get a DBA for my business? My understanding is no.
