What happens to my EIN when I close my business?

Closing a business

Your EIN itself is never cancelled — it's a permanent federal number. What you close instead is the IRS business account tied to it, by sending a letter with your business name, address, and reason for closing.

Inkle handles the state and IRS filings that close a US company properly.
