Question
We are a non-profit church with an EIN#. We are now becoming a Non-Profit Corporation, Does our EIN# have to change because we have become incorporated. The name is the same, we are just becoming Incorporated.

Answer
Denise,

Thanks for your question.

Yes, since you are changing the form of your organization from (in legal terms) an unincorporated association to a corporation you will need a new EIN.

These can now be obtained online at http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=102767,00.html

Hope this helps.
