As one who makes a living as an independant contractor, according to the asshole who keeps the IRS off my back, I need to invoice the business I'm doing work for and make no mention of an hourly arraingement, simply "services rendered on project xyz.
I also include either my EIN or my SSN, dependant upon where I want the $$$ to go. If I make over $600 the company must 1099 me or my business.
But including the EIN or SSN on the invoice is not required. It is required that the company maintain the information in some form.
Because I bill for services and not in a reciprocal hourly agreement, there should never be any question of an employee/emplyer relationship, unless I happen to be using my SSN on a project that I am doing solely for one company but even then it would take a whole lot of investigationg to prove.
