Financial Advantages Of Owning Your Own Business

Question: Do I need to get a New EIN to hire employees?

I already have an Employer Identification Number for my LLC, which I needed mostly for banking purposes.

When I requested this EIN with the IRS, I stated that I didn’t have and that I wasn’t planning to hire employees. However, now I need to hire employees and pay them with a W-2 form.

What’s the applicable procedure in this case?

Answer: No, you are already an established business, you do not need to get another EIN unless you are changing the class of business you have (from LLC to something else) or you are closing and opening up a new business.

You hire employees, fill out the paperwork. Just remember if you take out taxes, you are responsible for payroll taxes and filing the 941 form every quarter. The IRS doesn't mess around with those, I know from experience. Once you start taking out taxes, you can't stop. You must always do it. You can however, hire contractor workers (same as employees to you) but give 1099-misc forms so you don't take out taxes and end up responsible for payroll taxes. You need to search the www.irs.gov website to find out more information regarding all your options and what you will be responsible for as an employer. Oh and don't forget workman's comp and your state unemployment tax.
