On-Line EIN/TIN--It's Baaaaaack!

Thanks to Andy Sandler who brought to my attention that the IRS EIN/TIN website was back in operation.

One aspect of the site that appears to be different is its treatment of LLCs. When applying for an EIN/TIN for an LLC, for question 8.a., one needs to check the box for the tax classification of the LLC (sole proprietorshp, partnership, or corporation) and then, on the spot in the question 8.a. area marked "Other," state whether the LLC is a single member or multi-member LLC. However, you should not check the box marked "Other."

Got that? Now go there.
