DBA for LLC

john456 · #1 10-23-2013

Quick questions for the pros:

If you create a DBA for an existing LLC, can you get a fresh EIN/address for that DBA?

Is there any way for paypal/ebay to know that the DBA is linked to the LLC?

thx

I think it may depend on the state? In Arizona an LLC and its DBA share one EIN I believe. I tried getting a separate EIN and was denied. This is just what my experience was, someone else could tell you something completely different.

After some research, I am reaching the same conclusion. You get one EIN for a LLC and all the associated DBAs in my state as well.

Every "new" business can get a EIN.... However you can only accomplish this is requesting ein under corporation...ie... LLC

Sole prep will only get one.
