Question about W-9: Employer's online form only let's me input my SSN, and not my EIN

[codewarrior_777]

One of my employers is changing their payments systems to Tipalti and they are requesting a W-9 from me.

Unfortunately, their system for their online W-9 form doesn't accept my EIN number, but I've always filled it out that way.

They are telling to just use my SSN number, but I told them that I've always used my EIN number.

Is it OK that I submit this form using my SSN instead of my EIN?

@codewarrior_777  as a wage earner ( employee with taxes withholding by employer ) you cannot use your business EIN --  your tax account with the IRS / State is under your personal TIN  ( Tax ID )-- SSN in this case.  If you are a Non-Employee / Self-employed  you still  have to use your SSN as TIN. On the other hand, if you are an employee of your  own entity (  C-Corp. S-Corp, LLC Partnership etc. )  then you use  the entity's  EIN, because it is the entity that is providing the service through an employee ( and the entity  pays you as an employee or as non-employee ).

Does this make sense ?   Is there more I can do for you ?
