Trade Name application and LLC

[LaRaye Alderman]

Hello Bigger Pockets Family,

I am really excited and inquisitive about my business. I am trying to complete the application for Trade Name and on question #4 its asking me, Do I have a personal property account ( " L " number) and if no it's directing me to complete an annual personal property with the State of Maryland Assessments and Taxation Department and I have no property to report at this time. Also I went to the IRS website to obtain and EIN number and it reported that If I file for and EIN then I can't obtain and LLC for my business. I am confused, can anyone give me some correct advice?
