Carlito

I just picked up the forms, and don`t have much time to search around - can anyone tell me the benefits of obtaining a TaxID & Business License?

I don`t have one at the moment, and never thought it really necessary- Just thinking that since the first of the year is coming up and since my personal taxes have ASSRAPED me in the past, that it might be a wise move to become a business?

After becoming a business could I write off more things?
Such as my mortgage, or a fraction, since I work entirely out of home.
Etc Etc.

If anyone has any info, articles, or otherwise please tell it here.

When this new affiliate network launches it may be better for me to be a business rather than reciving checks and accounts in the 'carlito' name.

Thanks!
