If you are an individual owner and your LLC has one owner, you are typically considered a Single Member Limited Liability Company (SMLLC).

In this case, you can report all your business income and expenses on a Schedule C, Schedule E or Schedule F as part of your personal income tax returns. The Turbo Tax software will pass the profit through to your 1040 (your SMLLC is considered a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes).

As a SMLCC, you can use either your social or an employer tax id #. A single-member LLC that is a disregarded entity that does not have employees and does not have an excise tax liability does not need an EIN.
