You can wait till you start business but you will need an EIN (Employer Identification Number) if you answer "Yes" to any of the following questions:


Do you have employees?


Do you operate your business currently as a corporation or a partnership?


Do you file any of these tax returns: Employment, Excise, or Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms?

Do you withhold taxes on income, other than wages, paid to a non-resident alien?


Do you have a Keogh plan?


Are you involved with any of the following types of organizations?

Trusts, except certain grantor-owned revocable trusts, IRAs, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Returns
Estates
Real estate mortgage investment conduits
Non-profit organizations
Farmers' cooperatives
Plan administrators

...also you can get an EIN quickly by applying online with the IRS, or by calling the Toll-Free phone number (800) 829-4933.
