Why is a given listing or address out-of-date?
We make every attempt to keep EIN Finder current. However, there is a lag between the time filings are made with the IRS and when we can gain access to them. Several types of events (such as bankruptcies, incorporations, mergers, purchases and sales) can require companies to obtain a new EIN. When a company changes its address, it is not required to report this information to the IRS for purposes of EIN filing. Thus, we must (and do) search elsewhere to keep addresses in EIN Finder current. If you find a listing that you know to be out-of-date, please use our EIN Update feature to let us know, and we will correct it.
