"... I'm currently having problem with tax so my CPA suggests to close my current business and open different company name."

Don't do it. Your CPA does not sell in Amazon and does not know if you close one account and open a new one, you will have massive problems.

Tell your CPA that your new legal company now owns your current individual account as an asset.

Hi @Seller_mOlC01wXZnL0s,

Steve from Amazon here, thank you for reaching out. Seller accounts generally are not transferable. Seller accounts provide access to the tools and resources that sellers use to list their products and manage their orders. Seller accounts also include account activity history and buyer feedback. Every seller on Amazon must have a seller account and an agreement with Amazon that establishes the terms under which the seller lists and sells their products.

If the ownership of a business changes for any reason, the new owner must establish a new seller account.

If the ownership of a business is not changed, but the individuals responsible for managing the seller account have changed, you can add users to the account. For more information, see Set User Permissions.

.

I am also providing some information on our multiple accounts policy. You may only maintain one Seller Central account for each region in which you sell unless you have a legitimate business need to open a second account and all of your accounts are in good standing. If any of your accounts are not in good standing, we may deactivate all of your selling accounts until all accounts are in good standing.

Examples of a legitimate business justification include:

  • You own multiple brands and maintain separate businesses for each
  • You manufacture products for two distinct and separate companies
  • You are recruited for an Amazon program that requires separate accounts

Please reference the resources below for more information on this as well.

Comply with Amazon’s Multiple Account policy

Address a Multiple Account Policy violation

Selling policies and seller code of conduct

Please let me know if there are any other questions.

Thanks,

Steve
