Filing as sole proprietor

This is the first year of sole proprietor business (DBA not LLC), and I do have an EIN.  Do I have to file two separate tax returns - one personal, one for business - or is there a place to put my EIN on my personal return for business income/expenses?  Do I even need to use the EIN, is there an advantage?  I do have start up costs to deduct.
