I understand after the above-quoted explanation and you will need an new EIN in that event.

You will be required to obtain a new EIN if any of the following statements are true.

  • A corporation receives a new charter from the secretary of state.

 

It should be noted that there is no such thing as a "conversion" from an LLC to a corporation. In order to form a corporation, you need to file articles of incorporation with the authority in your state (typically, the secretary of state or division of corporations).
