I have a SMLLC taxed as an DisEnt and was asked to fill out a W9 for the first time.
I do have an EIN, but the current instructions make it seem like I have to use my SSN on this. I really do not want want to do that for paranoia and security reasons. Do I have to use my SSN or am I misinterpreting the instructions or is there a way I can get another number to use?
From the Instructions:
If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity
separate from its owner, enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has
one). Do not enter the disregarded entity’s EIN. If the LLC is classified as
a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN.
