    EIN name mispelled

    Good afternoon community, 

    I have a client who has noticed a spelling error on his EIN paperwork. Is business should end with a PLLC but instead it states PLCC. 

    I checked Publication 1635 but still not sure the best way to advise the client as it isn't a full name change exactly, and certainly don't trust any phone numbers. 😉 

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    Dawn

    I would just spell it the correct way on the tax return.  One letter in that portion of the name isn't a deal breaker.

    @IRonMaN  Assuming it's filing a tax return, and not just entering the number on a Schedule C.  (In that case, it still doesn't matter.)

    Check the name change box, too.


    The more I know the more I don’t know.

    Thank you! Why can't I find that box? On Schedule C?

    There isn't one for Schedule C.
