Real estate sale.

[toringderff]

My state tax was rejected due to no FEIN entered for a real estate sale.  I do not have a FEIN.  How do I fix this problem?

If it is asking for your personal FEIN and you do not have one, then you use your social security number.  

If it is asking for the FEIN of another person or company, then contact that person or company for their 9-digit number.

When do I need an EIN number?

• If you are forming a business
• Want to open a business bank account
• Creating a family Trust
• Handling an Estate
• Hiring new employees
