You must show your individual name and you may also enter your
business or DBA name on the “Business name/disregarded entity”
name line. You may use either your SSN or EIN (if you have one), but the
IRS encourages you to use your SSN.
Although the IRS encourages you to use the SSN it is not REQUIRED ... the whole reason to get an EIN as a disregarded entity is so you DON'T have to put your SSN out into the world more than you have to. On the Sch C you will enter the EIN and to get the EIN you had to link it to your SSN so the IRS can and will marry the information together on your return. In the 40+ years me and my partners have been in business this has never been an issue.
