Hey there! I’m working on signing up for affiliate networks, but wasn’t sure if I should use my SSN or get an EIN. Does anyone have any resources or tips about tax information and if/when to file business through SAS as an LLC or continue as a sole proprietor? I live in the US. Thanks!
An employer identification number ( EIN ) is a nine-digit number assigned by the IRS. It’s used to identify the tax accounts of employers and certain others who have no employees. The IRS uses the number to identify taxpayers who are required to file various business tax returns.
Your course registration won’t affect how you do your taxes. I would however suggest speaking with your accountant on the best way to track, claim, and manage your business income and expenses.
You can put your own name if you’re operating as a sole proprietor and not under an LLC
