The EIN is not for the plan - it is for the trust or the plan administrator (if not the employer). I am a single member s-corp owner/employee and a 401k plan written with a business EIN, I read/understand it's not the way it should be since i will be making the distributions and need to issue 1099-r and it required a separate EIN; I am plan on updating my 401k plan with a separate EIN, I am confused and wondering how to apply for it, I am familiar with EIN online applicaiton, but still confused on what options i should be choosing there, tried calling IRS but no luck speaking to a real person., the only closest options on online form is 'View Additional Types' --->> Employer Plan (401K, Money Purchase Plan, etc.); ' Any thoughts?

Hi, How to apply a separate EIN for a 401k plan? Can you list the steps? I looked at online application form where the last option - 'View Additional Types' --->> Employer Plan (401K, Money Purchase Plan, etc.); This is where it's asking for existing business name, is this the way the plan EIN will be relate to Business EIN? Is this same as TIN people talking about for the 401k retirement plan??
