Confused about SSN's and EIN's
 

I am new to stealth and to this forum and am confused about ssn's and the use of ein's. Do I need a different ssn/ein for each stealth account? When is the ssn/ein needed? If I have 3 stealth accounts do I need 3 different ssn/ein's? Can some one clear up my understanding?

You can't use SSNs for stealth accounts, only for accounts in your real name.

When you create a stealth account, ideally everything should be different and nothing should be reused across accounts. So yes, one EIN per stealth. Depending on your overall volume, you can avoid ever needing to add one if you spread your sales across all the stealths you have.
