If my LLC buys the assets of another LLC, do I keep my EIN number?
I’m purchasing the assets; I have a business and my business will basically absorb that business. Do I need to get a new EIN? Basically, the business in purchasing will disappear and mine will take over how does that work?

No, you don't have to get a new EIN. Your LLC is remaining--it is the other LLC that is being absorbed and dissolved. As long as your LLC remains in existence, it can use the same EIN regardless of what it owns.
