Legal Alert - Employer Identification Numbers: Updating Responsible Party Information
February 18, 2014
by Geoffrey L. Gunnerson and Carlene Y. Lowry
When filing for an Employer Identification Number (EIN), which is required for purposes of tax administration, the applicant must disclose the name and taxpayer identification number (e.g., Social Security Number, Individual Tax Identification Number, or EIN) of the principal officer, general partner, grantor, owner, or trustor of the entity. This individual or entity is termed the “responsible party.” If an entity has more than one responsible party, the entity may designate a responsible party from among such persons.
