@AlwaysBubbles EIN & SSN are pretty much the same if you are a sole proprietorship.  I have also seen the TIN tax id number.  It has been so long for me, but it might change if there is a company type.  Anyone can get an EIN for their business.  Otherwise try your social if you are going to be doing reporting that way.
