I recently received my license for a family day care center. How can I obtain a tax ID number?
Assuming that you are a US resident with Social Security Number, a separate taxpayer ID number may be not necessary. You can report your income and expenses on Form 1040, Schedule C. If you choose to report through a separate entity such as a corporation, you can apply for an Employer Identification Number either by mail or telephone. You can get that number immediately by calling the service center for your area or you can send a completed form SS-4 directly to the service center to receive your EIN by mail. To request a Social Security number file Form SS-5.
