Ceased Operation or Sold or leased to another operator - If your organization ceased operation or
sold or leased to another operator before 2020, enter the information in ITEM 4: REMARKS along
with the effective date of the status change. If your organization was in operation for any part of
2020, a completed survey is required for the portion of the year in 2020 in which your organization
was in operation.
Census File Number (CFN) - A CFN has been assigned to your company. Always refer to the complete
number in any correspondence with the U.S. Census Bureau.
Page 1

Employer Identification Number (EIN) - The EIN is the nine-digit taxpayer identification number
assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and used by all business firms and other legal entities to
file federal employment tax returns such as Forms 941 and 943; and federal income tax returns such as
Forms 1065, 1120, and 990 series.
Company - An economic unit comprising one or more establishments under common ownership or
control.
Subsidiary - A company that is owned or controlled by another firm or company. Subsidiaries include
firms in which your company owns more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting stock, as well as
firms in which your company has the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and
policies.
Establishment - An establishment is a single physical location where business is conducted or where
services or industrial operations are performed (for example: a factory, mill, store, hotel, movie theater,
mine, farm, and administrative office). If distinctly separate activities are performed at the same location,
and if there is significant employment in each activity, then each activity should be treated as a separate
establishment, except agricultural production as explained below (for example: construction activities
operated out of the same physical location as a lumber yard).
For firms engaged in construction, real estate management or operation, transportation, communication,
electric, gas, and sanitary services, and similar types of physically dispersed activities, it is not necessary
to list separately each individual site, project, field, network, line, or system. It is only necessary to report
for main or branch offices, terminals, stations, etc., which are either (a) directly responsible for
supervising such activities, or (b) the base from which personnel operate to carry out these activities.
Foreign Locations - Report a foreign location only if any of the employees at the location are reported on
an IRS Form 941 for an EIN that is also used to report employees at domestic locations. You only need to
report one foreign location for each such EIN. If more than one such establishment exists for an EIN,
consolidate the employment and payroll data at the headquarters location, using foreign employees as the
secondary name.
