There seems to be a lot of miscommunication between me and the office of my attorney. I don't know what to believe and what to do. I am a canadian PR and started a company in US through incorporation with the help of an attorney. While applying for an EIN, the office of my attorney wrongly mentioned the state of incorporation as MA though I have incorporated the company in MI. They have already provided me with an EIN and I was making preparations to hire a GC holder to run the company. Meanwhile, when I looked at the SS-4 form and realized that the state of incorporation was wrongly mentioned. When I checked this up with my attorney they told me that they will fax IRS with the corrections. After a week or so, they got back to me saying I can go ahead and use the same EIN to do the business. I believed this until recently, when I got an IRS communication with a different EIN. I don't know what to do now? Anyone out here know about EINs and how they work? All I want now is to resolve this issue for good.. I want to know which EIN is the correct one. Do you think I need to consult with another attorney? I thought of calling IRS, but I can't take the representative's answer for granted.. right? What if the rep doesn't have a good understanding of my case. I have already spent significant amount of time and money on this issue. There were other minor issues as well in the past with the office of my attorney that were solved amicably. But this is by far and most disturbing. For a while I thought they were right and I can go ahead with my first EIN, but now I am in a complete dilemma. Any expert comment on this issue is highly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Usually getting EIN ( Employer tax identification Number) , you can get it through phone which is federal number. For state you have to get state tax id number from MI. You can use your second EIN one and ignore the first one.

When you start using second one that is your Tax Id number for opening bank account , loan purpose etc.

IRS troubles you when you default your taxes, they are very helpful in ID number. You will get IRS Coupons to pay your employer pay roll tax every month.
