Answer 1

Even if you have no employees, but since you operate the business as a partnership, you need to get an EIN number from the IRS.

Here's the form you will use to apply

Answer 2

SS-4
APPLY ONLINE
The Internet EIN application is the preferred method for customers to apply for and obtain an EIN. Once the application is completed, the information is validated during the online session, and an EIN is issued immediately. The online application process is available for all entities whose principal business, office or agency, or legal residence (in the case of an individual), is located in the United States or U.S. Territories. The principal officer, general partner, grantor, owner, trustor etc. must have a valid Taxpayer Identification Number (Social Security Number, Employer Identification Number, or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) in order to use the online application.

APPLY BY EIN Toll-Free Telephone Service
Taxpayers can obtain an EIN immediately by calling the Business & Specialty Tax Line at [phone]. The hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. local time, Monday through Friday. An assistor takes the information, assigns the EIN, and provides the number to an authorized individual over the telephone.

APPLY BY FAX
Taxpayers can FAX the completed Form SS-4 application to their state FAX number (see Where to File - Business Forms and Filing Addresses), after ensuring that the Form SS-4 contains all of the required information. If it is determined that the entity needs a new EIN, one will be assigned using the appropriate procedures for the entity type. If the taxpayer's fax number is provided, a fax will be sent back with the EIN within four (4) business days.

APPLY BY MAIL
The processing timeframe for an EIN application received by mail is four weeks. Ensure that the Form SS-4 contains all of the required information. If it is determined that the entity needs a new EIN, one will be assigned using the appropriate procedures for the entity type and mailed to the taxpayer.

Answer 3

If you feel more comfortable to speak to a "real person" at the IRS:
Business and Specialty Tax Line at [phone] between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. local time and an assistor will take your information and assign you the required EIN (Employer Identification Number)

Answer 4

Its not adequate to "have been given on your state's internet internet site and seek for the enterprise." that would take days. Your state has a statewide taxing authority. In Texas, its the "Comptroller of Public debts." circulate to that internet site and seek for the corporate entity and it will in all probability supply the Tax id selection. CAVEAT: is the enterprise integrated? If not, it incredibly is in all probability a sole proprietorship and the Tax id is the SSN. good luck!
