1099-MISC USING FED TAX ID

[tjudkins]

I worked as a Private Duty Nurse in 2018. I got a fed tax id. I wish that I'd have used my SSN, but I thought I HAD to have one.

I have a 1099-MISC using my fed tax ID. Do I have to file a separate return just for that? I have added the income to my current tax form but TurboTax doesn't allow me to change the recipient's ID number.

Please advise
Thank you

You federal Tax ID (EIN) is linked to your SSN. So it is quite correct to report the 1099-MISC with your EIN on your personal tax return. You do not need to change the recipient's ID number in TurboTax.
