Do I need an EIN for my business?

You’ve done the heavy lifting to get your LLC off the ground, but one nagging question remains: “Do I actually need an EIN?” Think of an Employer Identification Number (EIN) as a Social Security number for your business—a unique nine-digit ID the IRS uses to keep tabs on your entity. While the short answer is “it depends,” the strategic answer is usually “yes.”

If I have an LLC, do I need an EIN?

If you have an LLC, you might need an EIN. Your LLC will require an EIN if any of the following scenarios apply:

  • 5
    If you have or are planning to hire employees.
  • 5
    You’re operating a multi-member LLC.
  • 5
    You’re a single-member LLC and would like to be taxed as an S Corp or corporation
  • 5
    You pay employment, alcohol, excise, tobacco, or firearms taxes.
  • 5
    You have a Keogh plan.
  • 5
    You do business with trusts, nonprofit organizations, estates, real estate mortgage investments, plan administrators, and farmers’ cooperatives.
  • 5
    You took ownership of an existing LLC.
  • 5
    You wish to restructure as a corporation.
What is an EIN? Is it different than an LLC?

An EIN is not the same as an LLC (Limited Liability Company).

An EIN, also known as a federal identification number or business tax ID, is a tax identity. The IRS assigns EINs to distinguish unique business entities, including sole proprietors, LLCs, corporations, partnerships, and nonprofit organizations.

An LLC is a type of legal business entity created by state statutes. It’s the fastest and easiest legal structure for your business to adopt. An LLC provides legal coverage of assets and liabilities as well as pass-through taxation.

The IRS doesn’t require most sole proprietorships or single-member LLCs to have EINs. However, there may be some scenarios where your LLC is obligated to secure an EIN, so let’s dig deeper.

What are the benefits of having an LLC?

There are several business-related benefits of having an EIN for your LLC. Let’s say you’re running a new LLC and have no intention of hiring employees or setting up a retirement plan; therefore, you don’t need an EIN. But should you get one? The answer is a resounding yes. An EIN does much more than just serve as a business tax identifier.

Even if obtaining an EIN is not mandated for you by the IRS, there are many benefits of getting an EIN for your LLC:

  • 5
    Create a clear distinction between your business and yourself.
  • 5
    Make it easier to secure startup funding.
  • 5
    Enable yourself to open a business banking account.
  • 5
    Establish business credit.
  • 5
    Get assistance with bookkeeping and tracking of business finances.
  • 5
    Add an additional layer of security and privacy to your business.
  • 5
    Protect yourself from identity theft.
  • 5
    Build professional credibility with vendors and customers.
  • 5
    Speed up the process of attaining business licenses and permits.
  • 5
    Receive tax breaks and credits for business expenses and wages.
Will I ever need to change my EIN?

Yes, there might be cases where you’ll need to change your EIN. If you’re changing ownership or the type of business structure you operate, you will need to apply for a new EIN.

Changing your business name or location does not require changing your EIN. Impeccabyte can help you understand whether or not your LLC needs a change of EIN.

Here are a few scenarios that require changing your EIN:

  • 5
    You already got an EIN as a sole proprietor and now you are incorporating.
  • 5
    You are currently registered as a single-member LLC and wish to restructure to a multi-member LLC or corporation.
  • 5
    You have an LLC EIN and elect to file LLC taxes as an S Corp.
  • 5
    You add new partners to an existing LLC.
