Generally, businesses need an Employer Identification Number (EIN) or federal tax identification number. The EIN is used to identify a business entity such as a corporation, LLC, or partnership. Sole proprietorships that need to pay federal excise of employment taxes are required to get an EIN. \n\nOn the other hand, sole proprietors with no employees are not required to get an EIN, and can instead use their Social Security numbers.\n\nThe Internal Revenue Service (IRS) web site at http://www.irs.ustreas.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98350,00.html contains all the information you need about EIN and how to apply for an EIN electronically.

get one from the IRS.  use form SS-4\n\nhere's some info from their site:\n\nTopic 755 - Employer Identification Number (EIN) – How to Apply\n\nGenerally, an employer is a person or organization for whom a worker performs services as an employee. As an employer, you are required to withhold and report employment taxes. To file the various employment tax returns, you need a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). The TIN is an Employer Identification Number (EIN). However, a sole proprietor may use his or her social security number as the TIN if the business has no employees and is not required to file excise, employment, alcohol, tobacco, or firearms returns. A sole proprietorship is the only type of business that may use a social security number as its TIN. \n\nAn entity is considered to be a sole proprietorship for Federal tax purposes even if an individual operates his or her business through a domestic Limited Liability Company (LLC) and does not elect for that LLC to be taxed as a corporation using Form 8832 (PDF), Entity Classification Election. In such a case, the LLC is disregarded for Federal tax purposes. Generally, the disregarded LLC should not request its own EIN. \n\nYou may obtain an EIN by completing Form SS-4 (PDF), Application For Employer Identification Number. Mail or fax it in for processing. The instructions for Form SS-4 provide both IRS service center addresses and phone or fax numbers. By mailing the completed Form SS-4 to the appropriate service center, you can obtain an EIN within 4 to 5 weeks. Using Fax-Tin, you can obtain the EIN by fax within 4 working days. \n\nYou may also obtain an EIN immediately by telephone 5 days a week, Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., by calling IRS at (800) 829–4933. Another method of obtaining an EIN is to utilize the Internet-based Form SS-4 at www.irs.gov. Internet applications are not allowed for all types of entities. Please refer to the Internet application for these exclusions. \n\nIf you already have an EIN and the organization or ownership of your business changes, you may need to apply for a new number. Some of the circumstances under which a new number is required are as follows: \n\nAn existing business is purchased or inherited by an individual who will operate it as a sole proprietorship, unless the new owner already has an EIN, \nA sole proprietorship changes to a partnership, \nA partnership changes to a sole proprietorship, \nA corporation changes to a partnership or a sole proprietorship; or \nAn individual owner dies, and the estate takes over the business. \n\nNote: This list is not all-inclusive. \n\nFor more information, refer to Publication 1635 (PDF), Understanding Your EIN. If you prefer, you may call 1–800–829–4933 for more information.

You can use paid subscription databases such as this:\n\nfreeERISA.com EIN Finder http://www.freeerisa.com/Extras/EINFinder.asp\nknowx.com http://www.knowx.com \n\nIf that doesn't work, for public companies, the EIN (or "IRS No.") is printed on the first page of 10-Ks, 20-Fs and other SEC filings, which you can get on the Internet for free (see the Filings section of "Securities and Exchange Commission"). For private companies, EINs are often included in the company's Dun & Bradstreet report (see "Dun & Bradstreet Reports"), they are often printed on the company's invoices, or you can try searching the FEIN databases on KnowX.com http://knowx.com/ , Westlaw (FEIN-ALL) or Lexis (D&B;FEIN), which uses Dun & Bradstreet data. If the company files with a Secretary of State the EIN may be on its annual report. If the company filed for bankruptcy, the EIN may be on the docket sheet as part the company's address.\n\nFor non-profits, EINs are often included in the the profile on Form 990, available through Guidestar ( http://www.guidestar.org ). In addition, nonprofit EINs are often included in the records in the Lexis EOTEXT file.\n\nFor political parties and other political organizations, EINs are reported on Form 8871, available through the IRS Web site ( http://www.irs.gov/charities/political ). \n\nFor insurance companies, the number should be at the top of their annual financial statement, which you can get if you dig deep enough on the NAIC Web site (http://www.naic.org/cis/).\n\nIf that doesn't work, UCC filings sometimes have EINs, though they usually don't (see also "Uniform Commercial Code").
