This form tells the IRS you are going to be an employer. It is used to obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS. The form will designate all tax deposit and filing responsibility to PPL. Why isn’t my address listed on lines 4a and 4b? Lines 4a and 4b ask for the mailing address to be attached to this employer account. By establishing PPL’s mailing address on your employer account, PPL will receive the IRS paperwork. Who are the people listed in the ‘Third Party Designee’ section? These are PPL staff members who will obtain an EIN on your behalf. What lines do I complete? You must review, sign and date the bottom of the form. If you have applied for an EIN in the past, complete lines 16a, 16b, and 16c. What if I have an existing EIN number? The DMAS program will only allow the use of an existing EIN through an exception process. PPL will need a letter from the IRS that must state the EIN number is free of “liens and liabilities”.
