Always Get an EIN!

The IRS has a chart that says whether you need an Employer Identification Number (EIN) here. The chart is misleading because you can follow the chart and conclude that you don’t need an EIN.

The reality is that you should always get an EIN. Anyone that buys from you can request your tax ID on a Form W-9. If you don’t have an EIN, you have to put your social security number on the W-9.  Don’t be a victim of identity theft; get an EIN.

It takes about 5 minutes to apply online and you get the EIN immediately.
