Athreon required this as well - no

They wanted a federal ID number and a local business license. Plus, they said they do not send a 1099.

I wasn't interested in all that for what would probably amount to $14 or $15 an hour as I was completely unsure of the tax implications (and not about to consult a professional for that kind of money).
