Partnership owns an LLC. Partnership is the sole member. Does the LLC need to apply for an EI number?

Single member LLC does not require an EIN, unless it is paying payroll or being taxed as an S-Corp. The single member LLC "disregarded entity" will file a Schedule C.
However, I am not sure if a Partnership can own a single member LLC. A single member LLC is a "disregarded entity" unless being taxed as an S-Corp.
I think your partnership owns a multi-member LLC (Partnership).

EDIT: Accountant-Man is correct.

When an entity owns a SMLLC, the income and expenses are not reported separately; they are combined in the owner entity's income and expenses.
Sort of like a division(LLC) of the parent company(1065).
So I say no EIN for the LLC unless it has payroll.
