A single-member LLC has one owner, while a multi-member LLC has two or more owners. For EIN purposes, both types qualify and the application process is similar. The main differences are in taxation: single-member LLCs are typically taxed as sole proprietorships (pass-through), while multi-member LLCs are taxed as partnerships by default. When applying for an EIN, make sure to select the correct LLC type that matches your formation documents.
