Does an affiliated organization need an EIN?
Yes. All Affiliated Organizations must have their own EIN (Employer Identification Number). Affiliated Organizations need to apply only one time for the Employer Identification Number (EIN). Once obtained, like a personal SSN, the EIN is good forever. Note: The Employer Identification Number (EIN) is not the same as the Amateur Athletic Union of the US, Inc. Group Exemption Number explained in question 19. Both numbers, however, must be included on Form 990, in the appropriate places, by Affiliated Organizations. Affiliated Organizations should NOT use the employer identification number (EIN) belonging to the Amateur Athletic Union of the US Inc. for any reason, or on any forms.
