Does a fictitious name owned by a Florida corporation need its own federal EIN?
No, you do not need a federal EIN for a fictitious name owned by a Florida corporation. An EIN is required for all business entities in the U.S. It has nothing to do with a fictitious name. If that fictitious name is the name of your company, you can change your company name without changing your EIN. If the fictitious name is a mascot, logo or phrase, you don’t need an EIN; you need a trademark.References:U.S.
