I was approved with an EIN in 2017 , but I received most of my 1099’s with my SS#, do I file taxes with my SS# or the new EIN ?

I have a small business and in 2017 it was approved to be an LLC

You should enter your form 1099s, exactly as they are reported to you. You'll essentially use both numbers, your Social Security number and your business EIN.

As a LLC with only one member, your LLC business is completely disregarded for tax purposes and you file your business as self-employed, with your personal return. Your self-employed business is already being filed under your Social Security number since your business is filed with your personal return (so don't be worried about the 1099s with your SS on them). 

When the software asks if your business has an EIN, you should say yes and include your business EIN with your schedule C. You'll also include your LLC business name in the Basic/General Information too.
