And once again, I will repeat what I indicated in my earlier post .....and also reiterated by @tagteam .
You DO NOT need to obtain a new EIN if you previously had one for the LLC. The forms you submitted to the IRS to change your entity status and then elect S corporation status would have used this EIN. The IRS will change their internal records accordingly.
It appears that you have already submitted the forms to effectuate the change. If you now request a new EIN, this will cause you more problems and you will then have a letter writing quagmire with the IRS to explain what is going on.
Your situation is nothing new to the IRS. They have handled thousands of this type of change.
*A reminder that posts in a forum such as this do not constitute tax advice.
Also keep in mind the date of replies, as tax law changes.
