Starting a new thread since I can't post follows on the original topic here:
There's a link to a website on that topic: https://sa.www4.irs.gov/modiein/individual/help/help-toc.jsp
However I can't find this anywhere on the IRS page. @TaxGuyBill is this still a valid link? I ask because I came across this page on the IRS website: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/do-you-need-a-new-ein
It doesn't seem to reference the quote you had provided from the original link. It doesn't reference anything related to MMLLC to SMLLC. The only reference I see it about Partnerships and it says that if one partner takes over and starts operating as a sole proprietor the one needs a new EIN.
This site seems to state that no new EIN is required when moving from MMLLC to SMLLC: https://www.llcuniversity.com/irs/ein-responsible-party-for-llc/
In my case it was a MMLLC with a S-Corp election. Then it changed to a SMLLC (taxed as a sole proprietor) and the S-Corp election was withdrawn. So I'm trying to figure out 2 things:
1. Do I need a new EIN?
2. How should I fill out a W-9 without invalidating my LLC protections. Should I use my LLC name with EIN, my name with EIN or my name with SSN?
