As a property owner, I have to send a 1099-NEC to my property manager, according to recent changes in tax laws. TurboTax Home & Business can create this, but it insists I provide an EIN.
I have an EIN for my small business, but my spouse and I do not own property under that business. We also do not own the property under an LLC.
Do we have to get another EIN to create this form & obey the law? How do we do that when we don't actually have a business, we just own the property as individuals?
Can I use my SSN?
Can I use my small business' EIN anyway?

You can just use your ssn. I do.
Following up with some additional info that may be pertinent:
I read on an IRS webpage (https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/am-i-required-to-file-a-form-1099-or-o...:(
You are not required to file information return(s) if any of the following situations apply:
You are not engaged in a trade or business....
So, since we do not own the property as a business, and we have elsewhere on our taxes stated that we are not managing the property as a trade or business, then it would seem that we do not have to send a 1099 out.
Can anyone check my logic here?
