Youll also need the ID number when youre dealing with a brokerage firm and your bank when youre opening up accounts for your investment club.
To obtain a Federal Tax ID Number you need to get an IRS Form SS-4, which can be obtained at any local library.
Or you can contact the IRS website directly on the Internet to obtain a copy.
