What does the einforllc.co blog cover?

The blog covers 9 topics: Form SS-4 line-by-line filing, state layers in Delaware, Texas, and Wyoming, PLLC and series LLC filings, husband-and-wife LLCs, LLC S corp elections, Form 1065 partnership returns, and EIN timelines. Each of the 9 guides links back to the pillar page at /how-to-get-an-ein-for-an-llc/.

How many EIN filing guides are on the blog?

9 guides are published as of July 20, 2026, split across 6 categories: State guides, Entity types, Structure and classification, Member count, Elections and changes, Tax filing, and Timelines. All 9 use the same 18-line Form SS-4 as their reference, and the IRS charges $0 for the EIN itself on every route.

Does the blog show state-specific EIN filings?

Yes, 3 state guides cover Delaware, Texas, and Wyoming. Each guide names the state formation document that must precede Form SS-4, the state fees, and the state annual filings the EIN does not replace. Delaware charges a $300 franchise tax due June 1, Texas has 4 separate registrations, and Wyoming charges $60 for the annual report.

Where does the blog explain the S corp election?

/blog/llc-s-corp-election-new-ein/ walks through Form 2553 for an LLC. The election has a 2-month-15-day deadline from the start of the tax year, with Rev. Proc. 2013-30 offering 3-year-75-day late relief. The LLC keeps the same 9-digit EIN through the election, and 3 named events force a new EIN.

Does the blog explain who files Form 1065?

Yes, /blog/form-1065-llc/ walks through the partnership return every multi-member LLC files each year. Form 1065 is due March 15, comes with 1 Schedule K-1 per member, and lists the EIN the LLC filed under. Multi-member LLCs default to partnership tax status the moment 2 members join the operating agreement.

Can a foreign owner without an SSN file for an EIN?

Yes. Every blog guide points to line 7b of Form SS-4 where the owner writes Foreign in place of an SSN. The IRS accepts the fax route in 4 business days at 855-641-6935, or 855-215-1627 for owners without a US-state address. The IRS charges $0 on every route, and no SSN or ITIN is required.

Is the EIN the same in all 50 states?

Yes. The IRS issues 1 EIN per LLC, and that 9-digit number is federal. Delaware, Texas, Wyoming, and the other 47 states each add their own registrations after the EIN issues, but no state overrides the federal number. The CP-575 letter that names the EIN is issued once and never expires.

Do husband-and-wife LLCs get 1 EIN or 2?

1 EIN covers the LLC as a single entity, and line 8b of Form SS-4 records the 2 members. In 9 community-property states, Rev. Proc. 2002-69 opens a disregarded-entity election. Outside those 9 states, the LLC defaults to partnership status and files Form 1065 each year with the same EIN.

Do these guides replace tax advice from a CPA?

No. Every 1 of the 9 guides reproduces the IRS rules for Form SS-4, Form 2553, Form 1065, and Form 5472, with the statute or Rev. Proc. cited. For a tax opinion on your specific facts, hire a licensed CPA. For the EIN itself, einforllc.co files it for $97 in 16-19 business days.
