Which tax form to use?



I had applied online to the IRS for a tax ID number for an LLC. I don't remember if I indicated multi member or single member on the IRS form.



I lost the pdf print out. I have the EIN number but don't know what form the IRS asked us to use.



Is there a way I can go online and find this info?

I imagine you can get the information you want from them.

You probably said multi-member, because if it's single member they suggest pretty firmly to use the owner's SSN or EIN.

Use for what? You apply for an EIN on an SS-4 but if you already have the EIN, you don't need to do it again.
