I would not recommend that you use the LLC EIN on form 6781; which would require an override.

This would most likely cause confusion at the IRS with it being attached to your 1040.

As was noted, a single-member LLC is considered a disregarded entity and all activity is reported on your individual tax return.  Use your SS# and name on the form 6781.

I would not worry about the 1099-B being reported with the LLC EIN.  Should you ever get a notice, this can easily be explained in a reply to the IRS.
