TIN/EIN for 1099 From Rental Agency?

[FlyFisher99]

I’m a landlord with 4 rentals, three managed myself and one via an agency (mountain cabin).  In 2023, I obtained an EIN from IRS solely to use when writing 1099-NEC’s to contractors for $600+ repairs (will use the EIN, not my SS, on the 2024, January 1099-NEC’s).  All good so far.

Now, the rental agency is giving me the option of using the EIN on the rental income 1099 they issue me (I’d need to fill out a W9 for them).  They already have my SS, no hiding that from them. Is there any reason to have the agency issue the 1099 to me using the EIN?

It doesn't make a lot of difference since your EIN is tied to your SSN in this case.
