Nominee Officer And The Application For The EIN
By the time clients reach us, they surfed many other websites that advocated for the use of a nominee officer EIN. Many websites offer a regurgitation of bad information. It’s time to break it down:
When you apply for the corporation’s bank account, the bank screens your name with ChexSystems and with OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control). OFAC is a department of the US Treasury, as the IRS. OFAC shares their database with the Department of Homeland Security and throughout the US Treasury. This means that IRS eventually knows for which bank accounts you applied.
Ein’s Are Free From The Irs. Obtain An Ein From The Irs By Calling Them At 800.829.4933. Why Pay For A Service That Is Free?
As for LLC’s…
The K1 is issued to the member/owners according to their interest held. This is filed associating your name and social security number to the LLC. Therefore, obtaining a “nominee officer EIN” holds no value. Why obtain a nominee officer EIN when the that information is going to be disclosed anyway? Don’t throw away your money.
