Good info! Do I get a Dba before or after I apply for an EIN ?

[jmic]

do you have to get your sole proprietorship before the EIN number? or does it matter? Because i know when you apply for your sole it asks for your SSN or FEIN number. But then if you apply for your ein number it asks if you have a fbn or DBA? lol so i am confused and want to do it in the order it needs tobe

[dearmeiqi]

Do I need to get legal paperwork done for DBA before I file for Ein?

[RodrigoSantos-ybux]

[nickfly]

So when you switch to an llc you’ll need a new EIN ?

[learning]

Do you put FBN or the name of the fictitious business you have created on the application?

[CherryBlossomskt]

How did you complete the application for the? Sole proprietorship?

[rae]

Hello. For the physical address can I use my virtual business address? My virtual business address and business located is in two different counties but same State

[zayragarcia]

Would a ITIN work ? Or still need another

[LifeologyEducationProgram]

If I'm a US citizen living in Thailand (not a US territory), wanting to start an online dropshipping business (where I would be the sole proprietor) is it still a "requirement" that I register said business this way?

[EdnaBlossoms]

What happens if you become a LLC after starting ein as sole proprietor!
