Dear Roberta Breeden:

Your question is not clear but let me give you some  guidelines: If you are converting your C-Corporation to an S-Corporation then you will use the same Employer Identification Number. EIN only change If you are changing the structure of your company from corporation to Limited Liability Company (LLC).
