    If you do not have an EIN for your self-employed business, then leave the EIN entry blank.  Everything will be reported using your SSN instead.  

     

    Every self-employed business reporting income and expenses on Schedule C is not required to have an EIN for the business.  This is required if you have employees or have formed the business as an LLC.
