[dba-Tech] Working in the US

You haven't got either unless you have a business which pays taxes in the
US.  However, you can get a federal tax id. It's pretty simple. 

Here's info: http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/moneymatters/a/taxidhowtoget.htm
This is a bit more specific:

Fill out the form, call the 800 number, walla!

I'd call the University accounting office, thought, and tell them you're
doing business in Canada and don't have either a Tax I.D. Or a SS#, and see
what they'll accept before jumping through that hoop.  Do you have a
Canadian business number?

Hi All:

I have been asked to provide a certain documentation as to doing project
work through a US university. It is as follows: "...requires either a
federal ID # or social security number...".

As a Canadian citizen, I am not sure whether they are asking for Canadian or
US references and where and how this should be followed up. 

I would like to know a bit of the lay-of-the-land before I proceed so any
help or comments will be greatly appreciated.

TIA
Jim
