If your entity name is not unique and the IRS finds one that is similar, you may be denied an EIN. Limited Liability Companies and corporations can’t file articles of organization or incorporation until there is a unique entity name for that specific state.

2) Multiple States

The application itself asks for the address and state in several different places. If the business is incorporated in a different place than the physical address, It will cause an error (101 error) because multiple states are stated on the application. The IRS will then check each state the entity name is unique in each state before issuing the number.
