I closed a Vanguard i401k and submitted a 5500-EZ in July 2024 instead of transferring it to Ascensus. I just now realized that I used the wrong EIN
Now I have to amend the 5500-EZ.
I remember doing an Internet filing for an EIN to open the i401k in 2015, but I cannot find it anywhere. Can I call Vanguard and get the EIN used for the Plan? I not even sure if I opened the EIN under the Plan Name, personal name or the LLC Name. It is a sole-proprietorship and the Schedule C doesn't have the EIN. I haven't contributed to the Plan in 3-4 years.
If I call the IRS, will they have a link to the EIN based on SS#, or just the name of the entity?
Thanks for the help.
