A DBA is a state or county process. For an EIN or separate tax-ID number, you need to complete a Form SS-4 and file it with the IRS.
An EIN is like a Social Security Number for your business - the IRS can track the wages you pay, and the taxes you withhold for you and your employees.
Follow the instructions carefully.

My husband owns his own business. He is sole proprietor & has 1 employee. He uses his name d/b/a his company name on all accounts/documents. He has his own EIN. It was one of the first things we did. County govt. will NOT give you an EIN. You have to get that from Dept of Revenue. We applied & received ours online.

Anyone--sole proprieter, DBA, LLC, S or C corp, can get an EID number... but you have to get them from the feds, not the county.

You've got bad info...
the FEDERAL EIN is issued by the FEDS! You'll need to have an exclusive business name, to get one.
THAT means, a License, and a personal or public incorporation.
That is best done at the state level (Usually, Secretary of State).
You might save a lot of grief by going to any CPA or attorney, and asking the question, and paying them, just to get it done right.

I think that would depend on if you are registered as a Corporation or an LLC.

I never do this in the normal movement. I can only do in some case such as 1) the person will be old. 2) in case of 70 % physically disable. 3) in case if there is rush in the bus.

as a sole proprietor your tax id number MUST be your SSI

I can't see why they wouldn't. See this website.
The way to get around this (and paying insurance for them) is to take them on as independent contractors instead of employees and use your SS number for doing your taxes.
