Do I need a new EIN if I change my business structure?
Possibly. Certain ownership or entity-structure changes require a new EIN, while others do not. IRS guidance for the specific type of change should be reviewed.
Swyft Filings' EIN service is intended to help customers prepare and submit the information needed for the EIN request. The EIN identifies the business for federal tax and administrative purposes; it does not replace the state formation filing, a business license, or nonprofit tax-exempt recognition. The business should keep its EIN confirmation with its permanent records because banks, payroll providers, tax professionals, and licensing agencies may request it.
