Question: I need to know another way to get my childs daycare TAX ID #/EIN number?

So My son went to his daycare from June 2008 through October 2008. They messed up really bad and I took my son out of their Daycare. This is not a in home daycare! Well I still owe them 100.00$ But I am fighting on having to pay them that as he was not there the whole last month. Anyways I called them today to get their Tax Id / EIN number for my taxes. (I have the appt to get them done tomorrow) and they told me until they recieve their money they will not provide me with that info! I need to know if they are even allowed to do this? Also if their is any other way I can ge this number? I cannot find the reciepts I saved either and I have been looking all over.(As those usually have the tax ID # on them)….Please Help Me! Thanks
As far as the End of the month answer isn’t that for employers not child care centers. I should be able to obtain that number at any time….right?

Answer: They are required to provide their EIN number to you. You could formally request it by given them a W-9 form.

You can often find the EIN Online by searching the organizations name and the keyword ‘employer identification number’ or ‘EIN’ on a web search program.

You could ask one of the other parents who send their children there because they should have or be able to get the EIN.

If they are affiliated with another organization (church, YMCA, city parks department, etc), you could contact the larger organization because they usually have the same EIN or the EIN of the parent organization would be acceptable.
