To sum this up, you open your business on the IRS and your state with YOUR info.
It is best to open Etsy and only add the EIN when requested. It can be a real chore to open an EIN account right from the begging when stealthing. | Of course I searched before asking I searched "etsy EIN" and scanned through the posts on 6 pages. I found info in 2 of the threads but neither answered my question.
I'm not trying to fraud the IRS. I created the EIN with my real info so that i can pay taxes on it, however i was not comfortable putting real info on etsy Taxpayer ID page because i didnt want to get linked to my old shut down account.
First i made a single person EIN, then on etsy used the real EIN but put stealth details. This gave me the original etsy error saying tax ID & name didnt match and why i started asking here.
Since asking i have tried several things and nothing is working. I havent found anywhere on the forum if people are putting in 100% real details on etsy tax id page
edit: I'm needing help because etsy is now asking. I've made over 20k and they are trying to communicate with the IRS
