1099-K reporting in a F reorganization with single owner disregarded entity

johnoc
Level 3

Recently a client sold his business (C corp. state conversion to LLC as disregarded entity). IRS approves entity classification via Form 8832. All steps for F reorganization completed per IRS rules.

buyer as corporation owns disregarded entity.  Whose EIN should be used on the disregarded entity,

for income reporting purposes? i.e. 1099-K and other income by disregarded entity?

IRS rules allow payroll to continue under old EIN for single owner LLC disregarded entity.

IRS Form W-9 and instructions direct reporting income (1099-K) under buyer EIN with single owner disregarded entity as business on line 2. Line 1 instructions direct reporting (buyer) owner of disregarded entity.

How does IRS keep this straight? 1099-K matching IRS programs; Same issue other income 1099/1098 income matching program issues.
