You don't need to be incorporated in order to have a separate taxID#. It's a
good idea to get one if you do business under a name other than your own
personal name. It's especially important (according to my accountant) if you
ever expect to incorporate under that business name, or if you might grow
large enough to hire an employee or subcontractor. It doesn't cost anything,
you only have to fill out one short little form, and it makes you seem more
like a 'real' business to nervous clients.
