How do i find out what legal status i created my EIN with?

You will get a letter sometime after they work on your app. saying how its set up, i guess more people are working now so maybe it won't take to long?

 

You probably chose sole proprietor. You should have been able to see the number after you completed the application, no? I did mine years ago and it showed me the number right off the bat after I filled out the application, or maybe I received an email with the info. But S-Corp or C-Corp would require you putting in the legal name that you have, LLC, Inc. etc. But they will mail you a document with your EIN number on it and the name that it's under. Mine as a sole proprietor just showed the name I was using, no LLC or Inc or anything like that. Thankfully I never did use it even. Sole proprietor offers no protection to any liability at all.

 

Does it list your name
Company name
Mailing address
City, ST, zip?

If so im sure its sole proprietor. Sole proprietor IRS recognizes as you, with whatever name you used being your DBA name. Or so they told me when I had to call to get a copy of my number.

 

Well tripps I can't answer with certainty. Mine lists my dba name under my individual name. And I know mine was sole proprietor. Only thing I could say is call the IRS. Anything I'd say beyond what I have about my own ein is pure guessing.

 

Yes call the IRS I just had to talk to them about my EIN I got mine back in 04 and didn't do anything an got my number lol
