When you prepare your schedule C to report your self-employment income, you will do so both under your social security number and also your EIN number. The EIN number will appear in box C but your social security number will appear at the top of the form.
So, the IRS will still credit your income and self-employment tax to your social security account, the EIN number is just there to link whatever reports your use it for to your schedule C.
