It is asking me for my LLC name and EIN for QBI. But my LLC doesn't have an EIN attached to it. Do I put LLC name and SSN or leave EIN blank? Or just name and not LLC

For the QBI deduction on my Rental, the page says "Name and employer ID number for this rental" Then it says "If this rental is operated through a Single Member LLC, we need the name and employer ID number (also known as "EIN" of that LLC. Otherwise, the owner's name is used and the EIN should be left blank." My LLC doesn't have an EIN attached to it. Should I put my LLC name and use my SSN for the EIN? (this seems weird to me because they are asking for a xx-xxxxxxx format) Or should I put in my LLC name and leave the EIN blank? Or should I just use my personal name and not use my LLC name?

Since you do not have an EIN for your LLC, I recommend you use your name and leave the EIN blank. This will not impact the computation of tax or QBI. Since the LLC is disregarded, it is taxed under your personal name,.
