As I said - the only reason we got it was for this ONE payment of $150 - we will never have to file any payroll or 1099s for this. All he did was play guitar on two songs. Wouldn't it look strange to use his Social Security number on the Sch C for his painting business (which was 90% of his income this year and he received multiple 1099s for - using his Social Security number) and then this EIN for the very small amount of income he received for playing music?
