Business & farm

if one partner is liquidating his assets in the partnership,

1- would IRS allows him to use same EIN for filing single member LLC next year? 

2- is there a form to advise IRS of the change of entity?  I tried 8822-B, but not sure if it a correct form or not

thanks

 

"You need to prepare a Final Partnership return.  This final return should show that one partner is liquidating his/her/it's assets in the partnership and turning the business over to the single member.  You will still need to fulfill your state's requirements for maintaining the LLC (any tax or registration fees that are imposed for the LLC designation), and you do well to advise the IRS of the change of entity (from a partnership to a disregarded entity Sole Proprietorship) associated with the LLC's EIN.  If you do these things, next year the single member may file the business as a disregarded entity sole proprietorship using Schedule C."
