I was wondering if I should use a tax I'D number and wanted to find out the pros and cons.

It keeps you from having to give out your social security number to the general public..

IMHO, it is worth it.

I got mine today, too.

I've never had a problem giving out my ss#, but I'm not comfortable doing it now.

Do you have to file taxes differently if you have an EIN? I do home daycare and am single. I have just used ssn in past but want an ein, but dont want to have to file seperate.

The fact that you have an EIN makes no difference in how you file your taxes.
