Shawn, thanks for your apology. I get that it was easier to ask here than contact the companies for the information you needed. Regardless of which companies you wanted EINs for, it would have required another forum member to go back to their tax info from last year or previous years and look it up for you. If it were me, I would have contacted the companies and done my own research. I guess the way it hit me was repeated requests for info and a joke about "coughing it up." My response joke would be "Go Fish." #which I didn't make at the time, because "go fish" is as rude as "cough it up."#
