How do I correct this error?

Hello,

I am independent consultant. I realize that I used my SS# instead of my EIN. Would filing an amended tax return, adding in the EIN to the business profile, be the appropriate way to correct that error?

Thank you,

Charles

No need to amend. Either your EIN or SS number can be entered on the Schedule C for self-employment income and expenses.

Next year add the EIN to the Sch C ... edit the business info section. No need to amend the filed return.
