Does SSN and EIN overlap?
There is no algorithm that will discern whether a given string of 9 digits is an SSN or an EIN. There most definitely is overlap (duplication) between the numbers issued by the Social Security Administration (SSNs) and the IRS (EINs).Should I use my EIN or SSN?
The IRS uses the EIN to identify the taxpayer. EINs must be used by business entities--corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies.
