I actually read this whole thread and still have no idea why anybody is talking about getting a new tax ID for a freaking contest. Sounds like some red tape some pencil pusher would setup to avoid and prolong any actual action.

Sly - I'm so glad I'm not the only one thinking the same thing.
I even followed that link to figure out what was so pressing about this ID. They even ask you to justify why you are asking for an EIN - this leads me to believe that it's NOT obligatory (and can use your SS#) and that another company can't FORCE you to get one if you have your SS# & no employees. Then again I'm Canadian so maybe I missed the IRS Business 101 course.
