Do I need to issue it from the business, using the LLC's EIN, or from myself as an individual? If it's individual, do I need to put my address or the LLC's address, which is different from mine? I do not have a personal EIN, but my LLC does.

I also have two 1099s from payment processors - one is in my name/SSN from before I started the LLC, and one is issued to the LLC name/EIN. 


 

 

When issuing 1099s, you enter YOUR name and YOUR ID number (your SSN or an EIN in your personal name).  Not the LLC's name and not the LLC's EIN.  If you don't have an EIN in your personal name, I would recommend getting one.  The address doesn't really matter.

 

When filling out a W-9, you enter YOUR name and YOUR ID number (your SSN or an EIN in your personal name).  Not the LLC's name and not the LLC's EIN.  Then the issuer will send the 1099 in your name and ID number.

 

If you already received a 1099 in the LLC's name and EIN, it probably isn't a big deal.  But you should correct the W-9 with the issuer that sent it to your LLC.
