You're right I got a very different answer from the IRS, and from the accountant. I'm surprised that this thread is still going. Everyone should just to talk to tax professionals and go by their advice, and not follow what that they read online. The IRS has your name and SSN linked to your LLC name and its EIN. It's all on your taxes together, so they said it can be matched to you. I'm not giving out my SSN, so a W9 with my LLC name and LLC EIN is the option that I'm using (and what I was told to do). I haven't had any issues. If anyone feels comfortable giving out their SSN to other businesses and doesn't see any risks though, they can use that option. If there is an issue with any of this, all of your information is on file with the IRS.
