I have a Single Member LLC and I've always used my EIN when filling out my W-9's.
On my tax return, the Schedule C, my SSN number and my EIN number are both there including the code for my business type.
I've never had any issues submitting my W-9 that way in the past, but now this company wants me to input my SSN number since their online system doesn't accept my EIN number. '
Personally, I think the whole reason for having an EIN is to avoid giving out my SSN.
My question though was it OK to submit my SSN even though I'm reporting income through my Single Member LLC?
