FYI: you don't need anything to start freelancing right now; if they ask for your EIN (or business license number) just give them your social security number.
All the company that's hiring you cares about is creating a paper trail in case they get audited, etc. they ask for your EIN so that they can prove they paid you; the SSN works the same way.
When you eventually get your LLC, you'll still file taxes under your SSN if you're just a solo freelancer. you can take deductions, etc the same way.
this is just what i've learned from experience....i may be doing something incorrectly but i haven't noticed in the 3 years i've been freelance.
