UPLOAD ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION

An LLC, Corporation, or Partnership are formed by filing articles of organization (certificate of formation) with the state's Secretary of State office. An LLC, Corporation or Partnership must be unique in its state. There can be no more than one active LLC, Corporation or Partnership with the same name in the same state. Per this requirement, the IRS will need to review the articles of organization (certificate of formation) as part of the manual application process.

101 Error
When processing online EIN applications, a 101 error code can result when the IRS found a conflict with the submitted application. There are typically two main reasons an application will trigger a 101 error:
1. Business Name Conflict - The IRS found a business entity name that is the same or similar to the name submitted. Since the IRS is a federal agency issuing EINs for entities in all 50 states, it checks for duplicate entity names in each state. This is a common issue and can be resolved with a manual application and sometimes requires the Articles of Organization from the Secretary of State to be provided.
2.Previous EIN for Sole Proprietors – Per IRS guidelines, a Sole Proprietor is not allowed to have multiple EINs. In most cases, the 101 error for Sole Proprietors is the result of a previously issued EIN. This is also a common issue that can be resolved with a manual application and requires the applicant to update the previously issued EIN with new address or DBA (Doing Business Name) if required.
The manual application process involves our business filing experts faxing the SS4 and 8821 documents to the IRS. These documents give us permission to act on your behalf as a third party designee and resolve the conflict directly from the IRS and obtain the EIN.
I here by certify that the information provided on this application is true and accurate. I understand that I am authorizing Ein Federal Tax ID, as a Third Party Designee to apply for and receive the EIN on my behalf, to submit signed forms SS4 and 8821 to the IRS on my behalf, and to answer questions about the completion of the forms.
