Maybe. How much will it cost me? I have a W-9 and 1099 misc…

The W9 instructions say that the IRS "prefers" you use your SSN but if you have an EIN you can use it. This is because many do not have a company name for the EIN. The IRS needs to match the information based on number used so if it can slow them down but you can use your EIN as long as you use the EIN on your Schedule C and all the documents you file (including 1099MISC to contractors).

That phone offer is a site generated offer, just ignore it.

Yes, it is right under your SSN (item or line D) on teh Schedule C.

The W9 says that "If it is a single-member LLC that is a disregarded entity, do not check the “Limited Liability

Company” box; instead check the first box in line 3 “Individual/sole proprietor or single-member LLC.”

So when it comes to the area to list the EIN list that because it states " If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN."

Yes, you information is all required. (Do not list that all here though)

I hope that was helpful

A positive 5 star rating is appreciated so I get credit for the response.

You did not have an EIN until you actually formed the LLC in your state?

The IRS advises the following
For federal income tax purposes, a single-member LLC classified as a disregarded entity generally must use the owner's social security number (SSN) or EIN for all information returns and reporting related to income tax.

For example, if a disregarded entity LLC that is owned by an individual is required to provide a Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, the W-9 should provide the owner’s SSN or EIN, not the LLC’s EIN.

You will have to use the SSN then. SO srry but the reason is that a the EIN for the LLC and under the LLC's name is ***** ***** even an entity (for federal) so they only will recognize your SSN unless you request to be an S corp. This is because the LLC does not file it's own return.

It is too late to get an EIN especially for 2016 reporting. Let me check further about just the 1099MISC you issue
