Can I report income under an EIN on my joint tax return?

[Lauren2]

I reported my small business expense and 1099s on my joint 1040 last year under my SS#. This year I have 1099s on my new EIN. Can I report my income from the EIN 1099 on my joint 1040 under my SS#? Or, do I need to file a separate return for income and expense under my EIN?

If your business is still operated as a sole proprietor, you will continue to report the business income on Schedule C of your personal return under your social security number.  If, however, you incorporated your business in 2018 (Corporation, LLC, etc.), you will file a separate business return under the EIN for the business.
