GeneInAlabama Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Doug, in setting up an employer for the payroll module, there is no place to put the employer's SSN. I have 2 or 3 clients that I prepare 1099s for that do not want an EIN and do not want to apply for one. They want to use their social security number even though I advised them that they should have an EIN. Could it be set up to accept a SSN?

Guest Taxed Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Gene, the IRS requires an EIN for any business that has employees and pays wages. If you want to use ss# of the client on the 1099-Misc use one of those online 1099 filing outfits. I believe they charge like $3.50 per 1099.

Kea Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 But a 1099 Misc is for contract labor, not employees. No EIN required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberts Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 But a 1099 Misc is for contract labor, not employees. No EIN required. Imagine how many sole proprietors issue 1099 Misc and don't have EINs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
