[WSBAPT] Decedent's 100% owned LLC - EIN needed?

[Eric Nelsen]

Decedent was 100% owner of an LLC. LLC owns a bank account. As I understand it, such an LLC is a pass-through entity for tax purposes and LLC income is reported under the owner's SSN (no separate EIN for the LLC).

So, I'm guessing that the bank account has decedent's SSN as its tax ID. Also, LLC has continuing income.

But does the Estate need an EIN due to the LLC's income? Or is the proper procedure to get an EIN for the LLC itself?

Except for this issue, there's no reason for the estate to get an EIN.

Sincerely,

Eric
