What Is an EIN and Why Cancel It?
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a unique nine-digit number assigned by the IRS to identify your business for tax purposes. When you dissolve or close your business, canceling your EIN tells the IRS you no longer have filing obligations. Without canceling it, the IRS continues to expect annual tax returns from your business, even if it’s been dissolved at the state level.
When Should You Cancel Your EIN?
You should cancel your EIN after you’ve filed your final tax return and dissolved your business with the state. The IRS doesn’t automatically know when you close your business at the state level. State and federal systems don’t communicate. You must notify the IRS separately.
How It Works
We handle the rest.
