EIN Mixup: Used New LLC EIN on Previous Year's Sole Proprietor Return
Background
- In 2023, I operated as a sole proprietor
- As of January 2024, I transitioned to a single-member LLC taxed as an S-Corp
- I received a new EIN for the LLC
Issue
When filing my 2023 tax return, I mistakenly used my new LLC's EIN instead of my sole proprietor EIN. The return has already been accepted and processed by the IRS.
Questions
- What are the potential implications of this EIN mixup?
- Should I file an amended return or can I take other corrective action such as sending a formal letter?
Any insights from those who have dealt with similar situations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your expertise!
