Hi all! Got here from a quick Google search on "using existing EIN for new business" and it appears to be a warm and helpful place so here I am. Also noted that one of the forum members--that seemed to know a bunch about what I have to ask--is in the same state as I, so maybe I can give him some business as I need an accountant. On to the question...
I am a sole-proprietor, operating under an LLC business entity. I prepare my taxes as an individual but attach a Schedule using my business name and EIN.
Recently, I've started up a new income generating endeavor (Google ads on my personal youtube channel) but has nothing to do with my current business, and I would like to keep it that way...I think. So I'm getting checks from Google made out to me, and I'm attempting to take this to the next level with some affiliate advertising and I need to provide my SS# or EIN.
So my question is, can I use my existing EIN, even though it seems like it's associated with my LLC, or should I get a different one? I don't really have a new business name to use since everything is just being done with my real name... so confusing.
Anyway, would appreciate some guidance and I am happy to reciprocate by offering help with any IT questions.
Thanks!
Paul
