You can get one very quickly from the IRS by phone or through the Internet.

Here's the link to the instructions:

Does anyone know how our PTO can get a Federal Tax ID number? We have taken over collecting our schools Campbells Labels for Education and the application needs a Federal Tax ID#. I have talked to several people at the school and we (PTO) cannot use the schools ID number. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
