File DBA In NYC

File DBA In NYC
8/27/2009 12:00 AM

I'm opening a computer repair store in Brooklyn, NY.

A Federal Tax Id is a simple string of identifying digits that serves the same purpose as your Social Security number in establishin the identity of the person or persons responsible for the taxes concerned in the eyes of the IRS. The advantage of the Federal Tax ID is that when used for and LLC is that it allows two people to own an LLC without one of them declaring their SS# as the identifying number for the LLC, and effectively declaring ownership of the LLC.

I will not be selling any tangible goods but have already filed for a Certificate of Authority to collect Salex Tax just in case. I am not sure what else I need, I have an LLC that is registered with the State. I've been reading that I need a license for this business and I have to file with the Department of Consumer Affairs as well. What else do I need?

It is essential for you to file for a Federal Tax ID for your LLC. In its absence, you will be unable to take on additional partners, as well as fully insulate yourself from the LLC's affairs.

 

The IRS uses numbers to identify individuals and entities, as names are repeated constantly. SS# however, are unique. But a business, never having been born, does not have a SS#. This problem however has been taken into account by the IRS. In the place of the venerable SS# number, one can file for a Federal Tax ID, and use it instead of a SS# for your LLC, Corporation, or other form of business, to make it even more a person all its own.

A DBA in NY is called a Business Certificate.   07 - Here are the licenses and tax ids you are legally required to obtain before starting business operations:

1. A business tax registration license

2. A DBA assumed business name

3. A federal tax id number if you are a partnership or you want to use it instead of you social security number to open a bank account.

Also, note that forming an llc or incorporating eliminates the requirement of getting a dba. It is a good idea to form an llc to avoid personal liability from business transactions.

Aside from issues of partnership, the key reason you should get a Federal Tax ID is really quite simple. The real purpose behind filing an LLC agreement is the legal protection it offers. But if you use your Social Security Number to declare personal tax liability, you sacrifice some of that protection. Thus, if you obtain a Federal Tax ID, you ensure the clear seperation of the business from your person.
