Wat do I enter as an EIN number when I'm self employed

[KatrinaB · Accepted solution]

If you have not applied for an Employer Identification Number (EIN), then you will use your own Social Security Number. A tax ID number (EIN) is not required if you operate a sole proprietorship or an LLC with no employees, But you must obtain an EIN if you are a sole proprietor who files pension or excise tax returns.
