EIN Question

I'm not very sure about which direction to go. I'm like the rest as far as not wanting to be without back up account for blackhat CPAing and methods. Which way should I go just for a start. Can I have more than one EIN so I can make backup accounts.

I will list the chooses. I don't like asking seemingly dumb questions but I want to do this right the first time.

Thank you a ton.

Thank you. That was perfect and it answered many other questions I most likely would of had.

I went with sole proprietor. I do not want to pay for a LLC just yet.


I used a link I found on the forums if anyone else needs a EIN as well.

start off with an sole prop, then if you have money u can create an LLC ($300-$450).

either way you could get unlimited DBAs and one EIN per DBA
