If you want to get paid, you need to give your SS#.

Do all jobs ask for a social security number? Yes so it follows that all MSCs ask for one as well.

They are required by law to *ask*. Depending upon where you live, you're not required to give it: [www.nbcnews.com]

You can always get an EIN from the IRS for free.

But find and read the thread about it on this forum before you do.

I will never get an EIN. I know someone who did that and then they had to buy county and city business licenses yearly.

That depends upon where you live. There is no requirement in general in DE, PA, or NJ, but some local municipalities even in those states may impose different rules.

Do all MSCs request SSNs/EINs. No, but what's the big deal?

I don't like to do business with companies which skirt tax laws, do you?

I just got an email from the accountant for a msc ive worked with a lot this year. She asked for my ssn or ein. She said most of their shoppers dont go over the $600 threshold. So apparently they dont need it for them.
