    I think once you've made $10 on adsense you can then enter in your tax id (your ssn)

    Millions of webmasters have already put in their social security stuff so it should be sage.

    They need us to enter Social Security number to participate the program.

    You must be 18 years old to have an Adsense account or to legally enter into any contract.
    Yes it's OK, no no spam. Sharing your SSN is a requirement for any type of earning in the US (unless someone is handing you cash).
    If you are probably still being claimed as a dependent on your parents' tax return, you should really talk to them about this issue.

    You can work with a parent or adult guardian to set up an account in their name.

    You will have to file taxes yourself. If you make over a certain threshhold - $600 - they will send you a 1099 form that you can use as reference when you are filling out the forms. Read this about Google and the tax forms:

    https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=18383

    But really, you have to talk to your parents if you are earning money. The tax filing situation is more complicated if they are claiming you as a dependent.

    You are still legally required to report the income, even if it is under $600. You just won't receive a 1099 if it is less than $600. Approval time can vary, but it is best to wait until you have a blog or website with many pages of good content before applying. Good luck!
