LLC EIN number . Can’t input it when setting up tax into

[Abel6984]

New to being a host, I have an LLC with an EIN number, however, when I select business entity, LLC, I try to input my EIN number, but it will not accept it. It says it is not a valid format. It contains the first two digits, followed by a dash Then a 5 more numbers . I use this number for other business  related issues but for some reason can’t get it to be accepted on the app

Hi @Abel6984 😊, 

Thank you for asking this question here!

Have you reached out to Airbnb Customer Support?

I’m mentioning a few hosts who have discussed the LLC EIN number in other conversations to see if they know how to help you: @Barry408, @Cory-And-Ryan0, @Elizabeth2601, @Semion0 and @Maria22471.

Thank you in advance, everyone!

Warm regards, ‌🌻

Thanks for tagging me @Elisa , more than happy to help. 

@Abel6984 the EIN number is always a nine-digit number that IRS assigns in the following format: XX-XXXXXXX. For what you said, you are missing two digits. Are you certain about your EIN number?

I also have an LLC and where able to used my EIN with no problem.

Let me know if you have any question!

I, too, am having difficulty here.  My EIN is 9 digits beginning with "88-" and 7 more numbers.  It won't take it.

@Aaron1394 same problem. did you finally omit the dash ?

[Stephanie3564]

I am having the same issue as well.  I have omitted the dash, confirmed I am entering 9 numbers.   First attempt came back with 'invalid', so am trying again.
