Re: Ein/ safe way?
First, I would always advise that you listen to your tax professional.
I do know, however, that it is within the IRS rules to obtain an EIN for an LLC, even if it has not been officially formed yet. I have done this with no problems. Of course, you DO have to set up the LLC in a reasonable time period.
I am not sure about S Corporations. I have no idea why they recommended that as opposed to an LLC, but I am sure there is a good reason. The thing is, they will know your personal circumstances where we on the forum do not.
If you decide to do things your own way, ignoring the advice of your tax professional, you could end up paying more than you have to in taxes. Sometime, a lot more. So this is NEVER a good idea.
