Question: Way to change SSN attached to PTO EIN?

Hi, My elementary school is moving from a PTA to a PTO. From everything I have read, a SSN must be attached to an EIN to prevent fraud. My school is all military families, so the PTO members are very transient. Is there a way to change the SSN attached to the EIN when new President takes office to lessen the potential for long term liability?

Hi there,
The reason the SSN is so there is a real person applying for the EIN. But, that "real person" isn't held responsible (personally liable) for the actions of the organization. So, as it was done for purposes of only setting up applying for the EIN, you could leave things as they are.
