If you no longer need your employer identification number (EIN), we can’t cancel it, but we can deactivate it.
Once we assign an EIN to a business entity, it becomes that entity’s permanent federal taxpayer ID number.
Deactivate your EIN
Send an application to the IRS that includes your entity’s EIN, legal name, address, EIN assignment notice, if available, and your reason for deactivating.
File tax returns before we deactivate your EIN
If you made tax payments, owe business taxes or received a notice to file a business tax return, you must file all outstanding tax returns and pay taxes owed before we can deactivate your EIN. See closing a business.
