Just to help you out for the future, when it comes to business matters never give out your SSN. They only need your EIN. If someone whom you do business with tells you otherwise, they're wrong. Since the EIN is issued by the IRS, and the only reason anyone needs it is for tax purposes, the IRS knows what SSN that EIN is tied to. So your clients only need your EIN.
