Should I file under a business name and how do I find out if I have an EIN number? Is it worth it to file as an LLC?

I have filed as self employed under my name in the past and this is for a rideshare business

I'm not sure how you would find out if you have a employer identification number (EIN). If you have a business license or registered an LLC with your state, you may be able to look up those records to find your EIN.

Filing as an LLC would give you more legal protection that filing as a sole-proprietor, but not necessarily more tax advantages.
