I went to the dashboard and saw where I can edit the bank account but not the tax ID number.  I'll keep looking but could you give me some further directioni?  Thanks.

The link I provided brings you straight to the page where you can add or edit your tax number and business name and address.

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.

I go to the link but it does not allow me to make a correction to the tax id. I can only make corrections to my name and address.  can you please assist me.

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.

I am trying to set Square up to accept school payments.  It will obviously be non profit.  How can I do this by entering Tax ID number instead of social security number

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?

[VanKalkerFarms]

https://squareup.com/dashboard/business/taxes you can enter your EIN number on this page.

I went to the dashboard and entered my non profit EIN but it didn't like that number. It wanted my SSN on file with the IRS.  I do not want the the income linked to my personal TIN. I sell with all sales going to a non profit.

@123159 ;

You may have to either call Square or Create another Square account.  As far as I know you cannot change SS#'s or Ein numbers anymore as safety feature to keep people from creating Fake accounts to use for Fraud.  People are even having troubles changing the Name on the account like when a person gets married and takes their spouse's last name.   This is why I recommend calling Square Support.

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.

@SilverLakeDrive I've moved your post here so you can see where another seller shared a link to add an EIN/Tax ID to your Square account.

How did you fix this issue?

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.
