When clients apply for EIN on their own.

Taxpayer is a sole member/ sole proprietor LLC and went online all by himself like a big boy and got an EIN.  And the letter back from the IRS says he needs to file his 1065 by 3/15.

How do I get this straightened out?  He's been using his EIN for months so I don't want to change that now.

If you read the detailed instructions for filing for an EIN what to do is explained.

There was a thread discussing this situation sometime last summer.
