How do I apply for an EIN using my Trust?

Hello this is Anne B. I have been an attorney for over 17 years and I would be happy to help you. Just a moment while I send some information to you.

Are there any other questions I can answer for you today about this process?

Do I still use my social security for setting up the EIN?

Anne B., Esq.

Anne B., Esq.

You use the trustee's SSN. If you are the trustee then yes you would use yours.

If I use my social then how does the Trust own the Business?

Anne B., Esq.

Anne B., Esq.

You use your social security number as the trustee just to have the EIN issued. It's much the same fashion as if I were applying for an EIN for my business and I was listed as the party in control of the business.
