Stripe Express
I only see a field to enter my Social Security Number (SSN) in my 1099 tax form, how do I enter my Employer Identification Number (EIN)?
Your business's legal entity type determines whether you use Social Security Number (SSN) or Employer Identification Number (EIN) for your 1099 tax form. Your platform determines your business's legal entity type when they create your Stripe Express account.
- Individual, single member LLC, or sole proprietorship use SSN.
- Company uses EIN.
To enter your business tax details and use your EIN, your legal entity type must be a company. Contact your platform to update your legal entity.
