So I'm a little confused here as to what to do. What did you finally do? Use your SMLLC's name and EIN or your name and the SMLLC's EIN on the W-9?
Also AFAIK you can only get an EIN for a LLC. I started as a Multi Member LLC with an S-Corp election with the EIN was issued. The S-Corp election was revoked and it is now a Single Member LLC. I'm guessing the EIN is still valid and tied to the LLC. So I'm trying to understand what do enter in the W-9.
This article seems to suggest entering my name with my LLC's EIN: https://www.upcounsel.com/filling-out-w9-for-llc
The IRS website seems to suggest that I will need a new EIN number after changing from Partnership to a Sole proprietorship: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/do-you-need-a-new-ein
Technically my LLC changed from Multi Member to Single Member, but is still an LLC - however it is taxed as a sole proprietorship. Does this mean I cannot continue to use my EIN after changing from MMLLC to SMLLC?
This site seems to state that no new EIN is required when moving from MMLLC to SMLLC: https://www.llcuniversity.com/irs/ein-responsible-party-for-llc/
Open to advice and thoughts.
