So Ingram spark wants a tax Id #. Being I'm not a business they would obtain it through a ss# which im wary of giving out. Anyone use ingram spark? I really just want a couple of my books in print. Dont want to distruabte at this time. If I was going to distribute, I'd probably go the ebook route with Amazon kdp. Having issues there though because they need banning info. And I don't use a bank. I was trying to find an option where they could just send a check.
Getting an EIN is pretty easy, just fill out the application https://sa.www4.irs.gov/modiein/individual/index.jsp As a sole proprietor, your "company" is disregarded for income tax purposes so technically you don't even need to do anything else with it until you start making money.
