I think part of the problem is you guys are not listening to what the issue is l, this has nothing to do with the employees SSN or tax ID number. It has to do with my business when I go to create a 1099 instead of using my SSN as you are supposed to it is putting it in the EIN format. The issue is a glitch in the QuickBooks program When it converts to a 1099 for the employee, it is listing the business tax ID, which in my case is an SSN in the format of an EIN. There are at least 20 or more post on this thread explaining the same thing and QuickBooks keeps coming back with the generic response. Just fix it already
