Thank you for your reply!
I read on the IRS website that a sole proprietor without employees and who doesn't file any excise or pension plan tax returns doesn't need an EIN (but can get one).
Reference: https://www.irs.gov/faqs/small-business-self-employed-other-business/form-ss-4-and-employer-identifi...
What is the purpose or benefit for a sole proprietor to have an EIN?
