Self employed EIN

If you do not have other employees other than yourself, you do not have to apply for a separate EIN.  Please try to use your social security number. 

The IRS requires you have an EIN if any of these apply to your business:

• You pay employees
• You don’t pay employees, but have excise tax forms or other returns to file that require an EIN
• Your business operates as a corporation or partnership
• You’re required to withhold taxes on income, other than wages paid to a nonresident alien
• You’re a sole proprietor or a farmer and you have a Keogh plan, which is a tax-deferred pension plan available to self-employed individuals or unincorporated businesses for retirement purposes
