Do I need another EIN for a DBA?
Asked by: Calvin - 13 January, 2011
I want to form a DBA associated with my corporation that I just recently formed. I already have an EIN with the corporation, so can I do I need to get another EIN for the DBA? Thank you very much.

Calvin,
Good news. You do not need to obtain an additional federal tax ID for your DBA. Since the DBA is just another official name for your existing company, the company only needs to have one EIN.
