Updating EIN Responsible Person in IRS Records

2021-09-14

The Internal Revenue Service urged those entities with Employer Identification Numbers (EINs) to update their applications if there has been a change in the responsible party or contact information.

IRS regulations require EIN holders to update responsible party information within 60 days of any change by filing Form 8822-B, Change of Address or Responsible Party – Business.

It is critical that the IRS have accurate information in cases of identity theft or other fraud issues related to EINs or business accounts.
