Minor clarification according to US IRS page ( http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/International-Taxpayers/Taxpayer-Identification-Numbers-(TIN) ) TIN = Taxpayer Identification Number, which will be one of: - Social Security Number "SSN" - Employer Identification Number "EIN" - Individual Taxpayer Identification Number "ITIN" - Taxpayer Identification Number for Pending U.S. Adoptions "ATIN" - Preparer Taxpayer Identification Number "PTIN" Depending on what you are doing will depend on what number is used - however, there will be only 1 number associated with each entity. 1) Personal (individual) will use SSN (individual) number 2) Business (stores, LLC (limited liability company), corporations, non-profit entities, etc.) will use EIN (employer) number. So, a party will be either doing business as an individual (SSN), or as part of an organization (EIN), but not both.
