Where do I get a federal Employer Identification Number (EIN)?
The Internal Revenue Service issues federal employer identification numbers (EIN). Application may be made on-line at http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=102767,00.html OR you can request a form SS-4 (EIN application) and instructions by calling the IRS at 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676). The IRS also provides information on the internet about who must have an EIN and how to get one. The site also has an index of some helpful teletax employer tax topics.
