Businesses that change their ownership structure usually must apply for a new EIN. For example, sole proprietors who plan to incorporate their businesses must apply for a new EIN.
Depending on the nature of the particular taxpayer, the EIN may or may not be the TIN used by the IRS. For sole proprietors, the TIN is their Social Security number or an employer identification number. For corporations, partnerships, trusts, and estates, this number is an EIN.
If customers want to use the same EIN number and just want to move their business to a different location, they can do so. However, they will need to file form 8822b to change their business location. See the form below for more information:

NOTE: Customer does not need multiple EIN if a customer has one business with just multiple divisions. If all of the divisions work under one parent company, under the same management structure, they can all operate under the same EIN.
