get new EIN or use current one? does it matter

[ilovemymac]

I have an EIN for my LLC company. However i didnt pay my yearly filing fee with the state so its still listed but it says not current. Should i just make a new EIN or does ti matter?

The EIN is issued by the IRS. The LLC is handled by your state. The EIN should be valid, even though you might be behind on the paperwork for your LLC. You can most likely use the EIN without it becoming an issue, but you should also file the paperwork to bring your LLC back into current status. USUALLY it is a simple form that needs to be filled out with a modest filing fee to be paid. If you don't understand the paperwork, you will need to seek the services of an attorney or other professional to do it for you.

Of course, if there is any type of a problem with the LLC, then a professional will be absolutely necessary.
