Even if your business already has a federal Employer Identification Number (EIN), most states require you to register for a unique state tax ID number–and you’ll need a state tax ID for each state where you plan to hire employees or file taxes.
Can you use your EIN in another state?
It is also sometimes known as a tax ID number or taxpayer ID. Because the EIN, or tax ID, is used for federal tax purposes, it stays the same from state to state. Moving the business to another state does not change the EIN— the business keeps the same EIN during the entire life of the business.
Can a company not have an EIN?
EINs must be used by business entities–corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies. However, most sole proprietors don’t need to obtain an EIN and can use their Social Security numbers instead. Even so, you may want to obtain an EIN anyway.
What does Ein stand for in a LLC?

Do you need an EIN to set up a business?
