I am looking at the directions on the W-9 right now... it explicitly says:
What name and number to give the requester:
6. Sole proprietorship or disregarded entity owned by an individual… Give name and SS end of the owner.
8. Disregarded entity not owned by an individual… Give name and EIN of the owner.
I’m not trying to be difficult… I just think that this is telling me to write my Social Security number and not the EIN… And I’m wondering if that will still allow me to receive checks in my company’s name. When you look at that page, page 5 of six on the W9, in the lower left-hand corner, are you not reading that? Am I still missing something? Please help me understand .
