REASONS TO APPLY FOR AN EIN
You need to get an EIN/ Tax ID Number if you:
- Started a new business
- Hired or will hire employees, including household employees
- Opened a bank account that requires an EIN for banking purposes
- Need to open a business bank account or want to start a business line of credit
- Changed the legal character or ownership of your organization (for example, you incorporate a sole proprietorship or form a partnership)
- Formed or created a trust, pension plan, corporation, partnership, LLC
- Represent an estate that operates a business after the owner’s death.
A sole proprietorship also referred to as a sole trader or a proprietorship, is an unincorporated business that has just one owner who pays personal income tax on profits earned from the business.
A sole proprietorship is the easiest type of business to establish or take apart, due to a lack of government regulation. As such, these types of businesses are very popular among sole owners of businesses, individual self-contractors, and consultants.
While the limited liability feature is similar to that of a corporation, the availability of flow-through taxation to the members of an LLC is a feature of partnerships (and not an LLC).
