Do I use my home address or business address when applying for my EIN# or Tax ID number?

Question

Just wondering if anyone could tell me which address to use when filling out my EIN form(SS4) I do not want my business credit associated with my personal credit and others have told me to use my business address. Help??? Which one do I use???

Answer 1

always keep business away from the home... So use your business addy. This includes a PO BOX... If your business is at home and you do not have a PO BOX number for you business.. Get one

Answer 2

A EIN# is also considered a Federal Tax Identification Number, and is used to identify a business entity. Most business will need a EIN. So to answer this question you would defiantly need to put the address of the business requesting the number, this is the way of keeping your buisness credit separate from your personal credit, anymore info you might need can be found at www.irs.gov and type EIN or SS4 in the search engine, Im positive youll find the answers your looking for, Good Luck.

Answer 3

If you are really in business than you must know you use your business address for and legal I D #s. There should be no cross ref to your home address unless you have messed things up.   By the way don't you have a C P A or an accountant??  You should hire one...

Answer 4

You use your business address when completing the ss4.  If you are a sole prop, you can't separate the two for credit.  You are the company.
