You can file for an EIN number which is very simple to do and free. It makes it so that you no longer have to use or give out your social security number.

You can do that here: http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/...=97860,00.html

The W-10 form is something the parents are suppose ot bring to you to fill out out. It doesn't have any yearly totals on it unless you use the one from the MMK software. You are not required to supply parents with a yearly total or with a W-10 form but most providers do as a professional courtesy and since it is so easy to print out if using MMK, it is no big deal.

Tom Copeland writes a bit about W-10's in his blog here:http://www.tomcopelandblog.com/.serv...ter.q=W-10%27s

Hope this helps.
