TAXMAN Posted June 30, 2020 Report Posted June 30, 2020 Anybody having a problem getting a FEIN#. I have tried twice in 3 days to get one. Thanks Quote
TAXMAN Posted June 30, 2020 Author Report Posted June 30, 2020 Found the problem. Code 101 indicated TP already had a number. 1 Quote
Catherine Posted June 30, 2020 Report Posted June 30, 2020 Yet another case of the answer hiding until you break down and ask for help. We've all been there. 1 Quote

Second, If you have client who ceases to use an EIN they should notify the IRS to have the EIN deactivated so that it can't be used by someone else for fraudulent purposes. Quote

That's why I like to file a 'final' return for trusts and estates who have an EIN even if they aren't required to file a return. 2 Quote
