 When you're starting out, you'll need to apply to the IRS for an employer identification number or EIN, which must be on your return and other documents you file with the IRS. (If you're a sole proprietor with no employees or you have a single-owner limited liability company, you'll use your Social Security number instead.) To get an EIN, you can apply with the IRS online .

 Jai,
 
 I believe Greg is referring to starting a business.  Securing an EIN is a requirement for legal and tax reasons in the United States.  It is also needed to open a business bank account.
