    EIN Reference Number 101 (and How to Fix It)

    Quick answer: Reference number 101 means the IRS online assistant found a business name too similar to an entity already in its records — and because the IRS checks all 50 states, a name your state approved can still conflict. You can’t clear it online. Fax Form SS-4 with your formation
