You should get a employer identification number (EIN) to do this correctly.

Go to the IRS gov web site and use the search box for EIN

Employer ID Numbers (EINs)

An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is also known as a federal tax identification number, and is used to identify a business entity.

You generally must withhold federal income tax from your employees' wages. You withhold part of Social Security and Medicare taxes from your employees' wages and you pay a matching amount yourself. To figure how much to withhold from each wage payment, use the employee's Form W-4 and the methods described in Publication 15, Employer's Tax Guide and Publication 15-A, Employer's Supplemental Tax Guide (PDF).

Federal Unemployment (FUTA) TaxYou report and pay FUTA tax separately from Federal Income tax, and Social Security and Medicare taxes. You pay FUTA tax only from your own funds. Employees do not pay this tax or have it withheld from their pay. Refer to Publication 15, Employer's Tax Guide and Publication 15-A, Employer's Supplemental Tax Guide (PDF) for more information on FUTA tax.
