How to Add a Business in Simple2290
Adding a business to your Simple2290 account only takes a couple of minutes. You'll need the business name, EIN, and the details of the person authorized to sign the return.
Add Your Business
Click Add Business on the dashboard. Enter the business name, business type, and EIN.
The business name and EIN should match the information in IRS records. Form 2290 requires an EIN; a Social Security number cannot be used instead.
Next, enter the details of the person authorized to sign the return:
- First and last name
- Daytime phone number
- Title or position
Then provide the business address, phone number, and email address. Fields marked with an asterisk are required.
Third-Party Designee
This option is only needed when you want another person to discuss the return with the IRS on your behalf. Turn on Enable Third Party Designee, then enter the person's name, phone number, and five-digit PIN. Leave this option turned off if it does not apply.
Once everything has been checked, click Save Business.
Check Your Saved Business
Your business will appear under My Businesses after it has been saved.
Check the business name, EIN, and business type before starting the return. Open the business details if you need to correct or update anything.
You're All Set
Once your business is saved, you can start a new Form 2290 filing for it at any time from the dashboard.
