My organization doesn't have an EIN. Can I use the EIN of my parent organization to file Form 990-N?

No, you cannot use the EIN of your parent or any other organization to file your Form 990-N.
If you do not have an EIN for your organization, you must request one by filing Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number (EIN).

Note: You can file Form 990-EZ or Form 990, if you want to file as a group organization with your parent or any other organization.
