The IRS requires ANY taxpayer filing Form 2290 to use an EIN, or Employer Identification Number. The IRS expressly prohibits the use of social security numbers for the filing of 2290.
We receive many questions from taxpayers who believe they're not a business - simply a driver. In this case, you would be considered a sole proprietorship.
