I am in CA, just formed a single member LLC from a sole proprietorship. I have an existing EIN apart my social when I was a sole proprietor. The only name change was having "LLC" at the end of the company name. Do I need to obtain a new EIN? or can I use the existing? I do not have any employees. Do I need to do some type of name change to reflect the "LLC" or if there is no change in the body of the company name does that make a name change not necessary.
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
Just make sure which ever schedule you use in your 1040 reflects you correct business name.
As a single member LLC you generally do not need a separate EIN. See the attached discussion from the IRS:
