S-Corp gives Soc, not an EIN number on W-9

[SteveBallard]

We just hired a subcontractor and received their W-9. The information on the W-9 gave me the Name, Business Name (which is LLC), they checked that they are an "S" corp but only gave us their social security number (no EIN is entered). Do we 1099 them?

You might want to repost your question in the General U.S. forum or the sub-forum Business under the Economics forum.
