Also, your partnership will need to file a K-1 for each partner. This document is to divide up the income and expenses between the partners for tax reporting purposes. Luckiest is right, you do need an accountant to manage these processes for you.

An EIN (Employer Indentification Number) is required if you are an employer. However, even if you do not have employees, you will still need a tax ID number for your business entity. Since it is an LLC and is its own entity, as opposed to a sole proprietorship or ordinary partnership, it will need its own tax ID number other than one of your personal social security numbers. So, yes, you do need one. You should be able to go to the IRS website (www.irs.gov) and download the form there. You may fill it out on your computer and then print it out for mailing. There should be no charge for this and it should be very simple.

Do we need a new EIN??, Welcome Vandana

Everybody in business should have an Accountant. Do you have one??

An LLC must have an EIN number. A partnership is subject to relatively little regulation and might not need the EIN number. A formal partnership should have the EIN number for tax purposes.

Ask your Accountant, LUCKIEST

Do we need a new EIN?

Hello everyone,

I have a question about EIN. My husband and his friend have an LLC and have EIN for that LLC. Both are 50:50 members. My husband and his friend (same friend who is member in LLC) also have 50:50 partnership. We don't have a separate EIN for the partnership. My question is, do we need a new EIN for the partnership?

Thanks in advance,
Vandana
