Generally the way it works (at
least in NH)

If you do not hire employee's,
give benefits you do not need a tax id.
Although alot of companys are
very uncomfortable dealing with people without tax id's. If you are by yourself you
generally will not need a tax id. Although it may prove benefitial to have one to make it easier when dealing with larger companies who feel insecure.

  That i dont know for sure, i incorporated so there would be   less questions from the IRS, got a taxid the whole thing, separate checking   acct, credit cards, so there is a definite separation between business money   and personal money.

  oh and my original statement should have been a   question

  You can't write off training?????

I'm a businessentity and if/when the company i work   for won't pay for training, you canbet it will get written off on my   taxes, that includes all of the oraclebooks, OCP exams, you name it, it   gets deducted as a legitimate companyexpense. 2 years ago   the company i was working for didnt want to send me toopenworld(and I knew   i'd be leaving in less than 2months anyways), so i atethe cost and wrote   the entire trip off.joe>>>
  RROGERS_at_galottery.org 08/13/01 02:41PM >>>Patrice,There is   "resistance" to any training that I feel is necessary to further   myknowledge and/or enhance my understanding of the Oracle processes.   Eventhough I have money in the budget for such items I have to submit a   businesscase defining the gains to the company and after completing the   course witha passing grade the company will reimburse me the expenses for   the courseonly. I also have to sign a waver that I will pay the company   back the fullcost of the course if I leave their employment before 365   days. Needless tosay I pay for everything myself and hope to write it off   on taxes if theyever get the bill signed into law.ROR mª¿ªm   >>> BoivinP_at_mar.dfo-mpo.gc.ca 08/13/01 11:46AM   >>>Just out of curiosity, how many days / weeks of real training   did youremployer provide you with in the last couple of   years?"real" is in quotes, I don't mean the little 1 - 3 day seminars   given byCareerTrack and other "training" companies, or management-related   stuff likelittle MBA-flavoured certificates from universities.Oh,   and did the amount of training you received match what you were toldduring   your job interview?Regards,Patrice BoivinSystems Analyst   (Oracle Certified DBA)Systems Admin & Operations | Admin. et   Exploit. des systèmesTechnology
