From what I've read, I get the impression that if you're a single member LLC/disregarded entity and will be filing your taxes with your social security number, you shouldn't use the EIN you applied for under your LLC's business name. Unfortunately, I did just that and now I think I need to correct my W-9s. Any thoughts?

 

From: W-9 Instructions Part I (on page 4)

If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entity’s EIN.
