Disregard entity and bank account
Hi all.
We are in the middle of a 1031 exchange currently. To statisfy the same taxpayer technicality we opened a single member LLC that is disregarded for tax purposes. However, now without an EIN we are having trouble opening a bank account for it. Is it only possible to open it under your personal name and DBA affiliated with it? Or is there a way for a disregarded entity to acquire a bank account and credit card under the LLC?
Thanks in advance!

It is possible to have a single member LLC with its own EIN and still be considered a disregarded entity and filed with your personal tax return.
