    Looking around on their sites it would appear that a sole proprietorship in the state of CA does not require either a state or federal EIN, am I getting this correct?

    I would recommend getting the FED EIN anyway. There may be some things that you would rather have the EIN for instead of using your social security number. It's free anyway, and doesn't require any additional tax forms to use.

    Thanks for the quick replies lilbit and REDD. Was just glancing at the 2290 and was wondering how that would be paid w/o the EIN. Good to know though, thanks again for the responses.

    Getting your EIN is quick and easy and painless. I got mine via the telephone in about 7 minutes.
