I'm not sure if using the same EIN number in two places on your tax return will present a problem. However, if you didn't receive any 1099 forms reporting income using the EIN number, you could leave it off the schedule C. Many sole proprietors don't have an EIN, so it is common practice not to have one listed on the schedule C. If you have income reported on a Form 1099-NEC then you might need to enter the EIN on the Schedule C as the IRS will want to match the income to the tax return.
