Need help on W-9 single member LLC question

On the W-9 form to give to the cpa networks, if i'm a single member, Disregarded entity, LLC do I put my personal social security number on the (TIN) part or do I use my LLC EIN #? However, the W9 instructions seem to state that as a disregarded entity, I should put my personal SSN. but others have said to use the EIN of the LLC.. really confused.

      You should definitely use the EIN of the LLC. If you are applying under your name then use the SSN, but as an LLC you would use your EIN. (I'm assuming your commissions are being paid directly to your LLC.)

    Disregarded Entity: An entity that the IRS has determined need not file its own tax return. The two most common and most applicable to 1031’s are the “Living Trust” and the “Single Member LLC”. Any income or expense from the assets owned by the “Living Trust” must be reported on the tax return of the entity controlling the trust. Likewise with LLC’s and the tax return of the LLC’s sole member.

    that would make me think that you would use your own Tax number ..
