[Fmpro] advice needed regarding record interest

Yep.  I think I remember using one of my piece's live performances with a dance troupe for this, and 
sending in one of the programs from it I'd saved as proof.  This was over ten years ago, so I'm not 
even sure if that's required now.

 >>    4* Information about your company (Taxpayer Identification Number, when
and where it was established, stakeholders)  (It's fictitious, how can I
answer this question?)

Tax ID would be your SS#, since you haven't registered it as a separate tax entity.  Stakeholder 
would be you, and the where and when would be where you live and when you decided to set it up.  I 
seem to remember that being how it worked out when I established my own publishing, though I did 
have my own licensed business which was a sole proprietership at the time.  It seems like it should 
be more complicated, but it really isn't. :)
