@Carl Thank you for your response. So to be clear, it’s not really relevant whether my EIN is associated with a given DBA and business activity? And when I form my LLC, it won’t matter that the name is different on my schedule C when the IRS receives 1099s with that EIN. After all, the 1099 should have my name anyways.
Or since you mentioned “if you change your business name,” would forming an LLC require me to submit a name change because of the “LLC” being added or especially if I choose a different name all together? Which brings me back to this: would there be any harm in leaving the DBA off the IRS application to avoid that?
