If I sign up for another EPN account signed up with an EIN instead of a SSN, can I just factor the the $$ into my normal taxes like I would with my ssn?

yes. it will be a sole proprietorship. you might want to get an account set up @ a bnak in your biz's name too.

I've already got a few HSBC Online savings account that I dump all my online earnings into since they have a high interest rate.

seek professional tax advice. don't count on bhw for tax advice lol

If you do sole prop, you will get hit with 40%+ taxes.. Bad idea. Talk to an accountant, form a corp.....

go llc, better protection of your personal assets over sole prop

Forming an llc does two important things, among others. First it protects your personal assets in the event your corp is sued. Secondly, as a corp you can divest yourself of your company through a stock sell-off, taxed at a rate of about 15 percent. Sixty percent savings. Many other good reasons to incorporate as well. Read some Bruce Berman. But remember, the taxes have to be paid. There is no black hat way out of them.

Anonymous corporations are nice too.
