W9 Question: Can I put my LLC Name on W9 if I use EIN from Sole Proprietorship?

davsea17 — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 05:56:25 GMT

Wondering if I fill out a W9 (for Amazon).

I read I cannot use EIN from LLC since disregarded entity.

However the form says I can use full legal name on line #1 and on line #2 Business Name -LLC here?

And then my sole proprietorship EIN ?

That seems odd, but appears the way to do it? Or can I just leave off the LLC name and leave line 2 blank.......since it all ends up on the same Schedule C anyways? Thanks!

if you look at the form there is a box for sole-proprietor / single-member LLC - check it

use the business name that the EIN applies to.
