What Is An EIN And Do I Need One?

An EIN, or Employer Identification Number, is a tax ID that identifies a business with a series of 9 digits. It helps the IRS track and file taxes for a business entity. It is very similarly to a Social Security number, but instead of an individual, it applies to a business entity. When you file for an EIN, you’ll need to supply the IRS with your social security number (SSN). This connects you to the business and marks you as the persons responsible.

an EIN is required for most businesses. If your business is looking to hire employees, it needs an EIN. The only businesses that don’t require an EIN are sole proprietors – basically, companies consisting of 1 person (yourself) can generally avoid filing for an EIN.

If you incorporate, partner with someone, open a limited liability company (LLC) or acquire another business, you need to file for an EIN. Even if you operate additional businesses as a sole proprietorship, you require an EIN. Even if you don’t legally need an EIN, there are some benefits to having one.

Should I Get An EIN Even If I Don’t Need One?

An EIN benefits sole proprietors, or independent contractors, in a few ways:

Adds a professional touch to your business.
If you use your SSN for business, you force clients to deal with your taxes.
Clients may have to withhold taxes. an EIN ensures only you deal with your taxes. Potential clients prefer less hassle.
Protects your personal SSN from potential identity theft and fraud.

I Changed My Business Name, Do I Need A New EIN?

When you change your business name, you generally do not have to file for a new EIN. Instead, you submit an EIN name change. The process you take depends on your entity type.

Sole proprietorships – Need to send a signed notification to the IRS. An authorized representative or the owner of the company must sign the name change documentation.

For S-Corps, C-Corps, and partnerships – You can detail the EIN business name change on your tax return when you file. For corporations, there is a box on Form 1120, and for partnerships, this will be on Form 1065. If you change your name shortly after you file an annual tax return, then you can inform the IRS of the EIN change name through a signed notification, similar to a sole proprietorship.
