@vshah20:

The single member LLC had an EIN. We are using the same EIN for them multi-member LLC as well

 

You need a new EIN for the multi-member LLC. Refer to the link in my previous post.

 

When your wife received an EIN for her single-member LLC, it was no different than if she had received an EIN for a sole proprietorship.

 

The IRS does not, by default, recognize single-member LLCs as distinct and different from sole proprietorships. The default classification for the new multi-member LLC is a partnership for which the LLC will need a new EIN.
