Updating my legal business entity

I have my single member LLC.

I am trying to change my tax information, what should I select?

Individual or business? Should I provide them EIN or SSN?

I have to change an address because of the change in business address.

What to select in the Tax Interview?

If you did NOT elect S-Corp or C-Corp status (i.e., you’re taxed by default as a disregarded entity/sole proprietor):

Choose “Individual / Sole proprietor or single-member LLC.”

If you did file an election to be taxed as a S-Corp or C-Corp (Form 2553/8832):

Choose “Business” and pick S-Corp or C-Corp as appropriate.

SSN or EIN?

Disregarded entity (default): the IRS wants the owner’s TIN. That means your SSN (or an EIN that belongs to you as a sole proprietor, not the LLC’s EIN).

If you’re taxed as S-Corp/C-Corp: use the LLC’s EIN.

Address change

In Seller Central go to Settings → Account Info → Business Address and update it.

Then go to Settings → Tax Settings / Tax Information and re-run the Tax Interview so the new address is on your W-9 record.

If your legal business address changed with your state, make sure you’ve also updated it with your Secretary of State and the IRS (Form 8822-B for business address change).

Okay! I have changed address on seller central few months ago. Didn’t realize that I have to change in Tax information. I did get the postcard from Amazon to verify the change.
