EIN question....

I've decided to apply for an EIN so I don't have to give out my SS# to new companies anymore. Just wondering how easy it is and can I still have one by not being a business but just an individual....?

yes, you can be a sole proprietor, do a search under EIN, there should be lots of info and opinions. Good Luck

I just did this......

I called the irs at 1-800-829-4933 and got my number in about 5 minutes over the phone. It was easy.
