Had a previous EIN number but have a sole proprietor business with no employees and want to use my social security number

Best answer by Critter

Switch to the FORMS mode and delete it on the form/worksheet  ... however if this is the same business you can leave the EIN even if you don't use it for anything ... the Sch C will have the SS# on it automatically so you really don't need to remove the EIN.

If you have a new business then you need to complete a new Sch C and remove the old one.

Have an old EIN number on previous return. Have a new business as a sole proprietor with no employees and want to use my social security number as an identifier.  Tried to delete EIN number on new return, but Turbotax keeps reinstalling it.
