You cannot use an EIN unless you are using it for legitimate business purposes. The use of an EIN to obtain credit for personal purposes is prohibited by federal law.

If you are an employer and have applied for and received an EIN, you can use it when applying for business credit, or when filing business tax returns.

Can Trust Numbers Be SSNs?

You have to call the IRS or go on its website (On the Internet, it will be given to you in minutes). and apply for a number. It is not a social security number. You will have to get an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for the trust . (as I recall, it is nine digits, like 12-3456789, not like a social security number reads 123-45-6789). If it is a trust set up in a will (which I am more familiar with), you will need some basic information, like name of decedent, name of trustees, addresses, social security numbers, date of death, etc.
