tilt Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Although an EIN is not required, what would it hurt to get one. That way the client does not have their social security number floating around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcb39 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Although an EIN is not required, what would it hurt to get one. That way the client does not have their social security number floating around. A few years ago, they didn't want to give an EIN # to a Sole Prop who did not have employees. Now, you can get one online within minutes. I am finding that clients say they need them for people from whom they purchase supplies.

kcjenkins Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Well, given the level of Identity Theft, not having to give out your SSN just makes good sense, it seems to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
