Is the EIN # the tax id number?

Hey @GS48010 - Yup, an Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a federal tax identification number used to identify a business entity. For more information on how to confirm your EIN is linked to your account, check out our article on 1099-K Tax Reporting.

when you click edit it pops up another dialog box. it will say EIN on file but you can still type in that field with your updated one.

Here is some help.

Once you click the link, click update Taxpayer Information. A new window will pop up for you to enter your taxpayer information. Inside that box in the upper right hand corner is a field to change/add you SSN or EIN.

This does NOT change your EIN on other aspects, such as payroll, for your account. Please contact Square to make necessary changes.

How to link account to EIN?

TPCD — Mon, 24 Feb 2020 19:45:49 GMT

I had to sign up with the last 4 digits of my SSN. I have since linked payments to my company checking account but I cannot find a place in which to give the EIN number. I do not want transactions being attributed to me personally. Where can I go for help with this?

Change Social Security to Business Tax ID

This reply was created from merging an existing thread: Change Social Security to Business Tax ID

I initally signed up using the last 4 digits of my social secuirty number, but I want to change it out with my business tax id number, how do I do this or does it even matter at this point? I'd rather not have my personal SS number attached to the square account and have the business id number instead.

I set up a square account for a church organization that is non profit. I didn't have the EIN number at the time. How do I add it now? I tried tax forms form but seems disabled. Any guidance would be helpful.
