Many people wonder if they need to get a new EIN when they change their business structure. They also aren’t sure if adding employees or altering other aspects of their business requires a new EIN number. If you don’t know when you need to apply for an EIN, it can add stress to you and your business.
There are certain instances where you will need to apply for a new EIN for your business.
If you:
A Federal Tax Identification Number, also known as an Employer Identification Number or EIN, is a unique set of nine digits assigned to your organization by the Internal Revenue Department. An EIN lets the IRS know your business is a unique tax-paying entity within the United States of America. After you receive your EIN, you can then conduct tax-related activities, such as opening up a business bank account or filing your taxes in April, which you would otherwise need a Social Security Card for.
There are many reasons why you would need to obtain an EIN for your company, including if it operates as a corporation, has a Keogh Plan, or is involved in specific organizations like trusts of farmers co-ops.
Another reason you may want an Employer Identification Number for your company is to protect your privacy. If your company deals with multiple clients, handing out your social security number to them can put you in harm’s way and expose you to personal identity thieves. Applying for an EIN protects you against these types of attacks.
