Business & farm

- We are in NC.  The LLC was created in NC where we reside.  The property is in NC.

- My husband owns the property.

- We created an LLC for the property some years ago and claimed income/expenses on Schedule E for years.  Last year, we had a tenant that we had to evict.  The magistrate told us we had to file the forms in the name of the LLC.  Fast forward, once the case was settled, we received the rent bond check in the name of the LLC.  So we couldn't deposit the check in our account we normally use for the rental property.  We were told we had to acquire an EIN and open a business account in order to deposit the check.

- The date of the EIN is 9/6/2023.
