I did give them a different number. The IRS asigned me a EIN that is different then my SSN but they (The IRS) knows its me. I applyed for a EIN as a sole proprietor, after reading up on it. It's was reccomend by the IRS for "Internet business." No business name was required, it's just designed to allow you to keep your SSN confidential.
I stated above by mistake that it was a "TIN." Sorry for the confustion. The IRS states you can have an EIN even with no employees and use it this way. I filled out this form
