How do I apply for a Federal Tax I.D. directly, without going through other people which web site?

Question

I want to do this on my own directly with the government without going through other people.

Answer 1

I assume you're looking for an Employer Tax I.D. (EID) so you can hire people.

Here it is: http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98350,00.html

If I'm wrong and you need it for another purpose, here's an article on all the various types of taxpayer ID:
