There are, however, instances when you must file for a new EIN. These are almost always necessitated by a change in structure to the entity for which you already have a tax ID.

Sole Proprietorship

You must file for a new EIN if you incorporate, take in partners, buy or inherit an existing business you are operating as a sole proprietorship or are subject to a bankruptcy proceeding.

Corporation

You are required to get a new EIN if you change your tax status, receive a new charter, are a subsidiary of a corporation and are using the parent company’s EIN, become a subsidiary, or are part of a merger that creates a new corporation.

Partnership

Getting a new EIN is required here when you end an existing partnership and create a new one, incorporate, or have your partnership taken over by one of your partners, who then runs it as a sole proprietorship.

LLC

You must file for a new EIN when a new LLC with one owner is formed under state law and that person opts to be taxed as a corporation of any sort. It is also necessary when a new LLC with more than a single owner is created under state law, as well as when a new LLC with one owner is formed under state law and is required to file excise taxes for tax periods on or after Jan. 1, 2008, or file employment tax for wages paid on or after Jan. 1, 2009.

Estate

An estate must get a new EIN if a trust is created with funds from that estate or if you are operating an estate that becomes a business after the death of its owner.

Trust

You’ll have to get a new EIN if it changes to an estate, you are the grantor or maker of numerous trusts, a living trust ends as a result of sending its property to a residual trust, or a living trust becomes a testamentary trust.
