[WSBAPT] Applying for EIN online with co-PRs

[Lewis, Amy C.]

Eric,

              I think you are required to pick one of them to be the IRS contact.  Our practice is to have the co-PRs chose who will be the primary IRS contact and then submit for that person.  We note that their title is co-PR and have never had an issue.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Applying for EIN online with co-PRs

Hey all-I am applying for an Estate EIN and have two co-Administrators. First time I've had to do this with co-PRs, and I'm not quite sure how to get through the online EIN application if I have two fiduciaries instead of one. Does it allow for that? Or would I need to file the SS-4 by mail and wait (weeks) for the EIN assignment?

Sincerely,

Eric
