A notice was posted on the Secretary of the Commonwealth website that the Corporations Division will no longer accept a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) in conjunction with the organization, formation or registration of any new business entity filing. If an FEIN is included on a new business entity filing, the FEIN will be redacted and a 9-digit state ID number will be assigned. With respect to business entities that previously filed documents containing a FEIN, the Corporations Division will redact the FEIN upon written request to pre-clear@sec.state.ma.us.
