Can they do this? A client who never sent me a 1099 or gave me their EIN says it's because I gave them my EIN on my W9 instead of my social security number. If I can't get their EIN I have to mail in my taxes instead of e-filing. That's what TurboTax self employed says. Can they withhold the 1099 or their EIN from me? How do I get around this?
