Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

Get yourself an LLC, then you can have as many as you need.

Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

One. You can have one. Then need another LLC

Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

Your tax professional does this.
How can you be using a VATICAN flag and talk of re-using your SSN.

Where are you truly?

With so little info, no one here should give tax advice because of the complications.

Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

Yes most people already know this. :coffee:

Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

People that know about how EIN's work, know this. But a lot of people don't. And the way you're post and others come off, people think they can get multiple EIN's for one LLC. When I was first starting out, I definitely didn't know this, and if I read someone say " get an LLC, and you can get as many EIN's as you need", I'd assume you meant exactly what you said.

Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I think we are all good now.

1 EIN = 1 DBA / SSN / 1 LLC etc.

Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

In all honesty, I have used the same EIN and Socials before on Amazon. It has worked and I have had no problems. Everyone is different but it has worked for me. I don't have time to continue changing EIN's.

Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

Well that's definitely a concrete way to get potentially linked to multiple accounts. Not recommended...

Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

If you want to link accounts, risk having funds held forever if one account gets problems then you take that risk.

We however advise strongly against the concept of creating links between stealth accounts.

Majority would have time to practise better stealth methods than you.

I don't think there is a $5 charge for EINs, they are free usually.

Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

As stated....everyone is different but I have been using this method for years and never had any problems.

Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

You can have 1 EIN per LLC and 1 EIN as Sole Proprietor. If you burned your Sole Proprietor on banned account then you will be required to create a new corporation and then you can get another EIN per Corporation.

The days of getting multiple EIN's online are over several years ago.

Sure you can lie to IRS and say you own many Corps, but that will eventually lead to big trouble.

Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

I concur. I miss the old days

Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

Thanks.
I'm in the US. No idea why mine is a Vatican flag.
I have a SSN, which was initial used on my Amazon seller account. Later on, when I register a business as Sole-Proprietorship, I used the EIN to replace my SSN.
Now I want other Amazon account, just because.
I know almost all the steps, except for EIN part. For a second I thought I can just get another EIN with my SSN again. But reading posts above, it seems not the case.
If I have to open an LLC to get an EIN, seem like I will have to file 2 schedule C at the end of the year? 1 for the sole proprietorship, and 1 for the LLC.
:doh:

Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

Best to talk to an accountant for those questions :)

Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

Sure I will. Just 1 last question: can I do multiple DBA as sole proprietorship?

Thanks

Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

What if you used a diffent name would you be able to get a ein?

Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

You don't mess around with using different names on the IRS websites for getting an EIN - that's illegal.

Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

Yes you can buy from marketplace

Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

Thats a clear no.Never resue the same info on two accounts

Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

Ideally yes

Re: Use same EIN for multiple Amazon accounts
 

Imagine walking into your accountants office and say hey bro, i have these 25 ein's form 25 ebay accounts i want you to file taxes for, oh and here is the 25 P&l's 25 balance sheets etc.. What a crock of ****, he'd throw you outta there and ask what kinda shady stuff you doing. If you legitimately are doing all this paperwork.I sure hope you're making 6 figures, and i mean not just 100k. like 300k or more. Goodluck with all of that!
