Don’t spend another day struggling with the paperwork. Let GOV+ take care of it for you.
A sole proprietorship is a business entity wherein a single individual owns and operates a company. There’s no formal setup, simply performing business activities automatically grants you sole proprietor status. And because you and your businesses are one and the same, there’s no legal distinction in regard to taxes and liability.
As a sole proprietor business owner, you may be required to have an employer identification number should any of the following circumstances apply to your type business structure:
You have incorporated, formed a partnership, or established an LLC, thus creating a new legal business entity.
You must apply for a new sole proprietorship EIN number if you purchase or inherit an existing business that you will operate as a sole proprietorship
You have entered bankruptcy proceedings
You have a solo 401(k) retirement plan or a tax-deferred Keogh pension plan
You have one or more employees working for the company
An employer identification number for a sole proprietorship business owner can provide several tangible benefits, including:
A federal EIN can be provided in lieu of your Social Security number for independent contracting and federal tax purposes. This helps reduce the likelihood of identity theft
An EIN signals that you operate as an independent contractor, not an employee, making you a more attractive candidate to would-be clients
An EIN number allows you to apply for local and state licenses
Having a sole proprietorship EIN is a requirement to open up a business bank account
