I just started my business this year and have filed all paid preparer returns with my social as the "EIN." When preparing my own return, I remember the customer service rep that I signed up thru telling me that I have to do something different when preparing my own return. I'm getting a message that says "The EIN is invalid. The firm's EIN should be nine digits and cannot be all zeroes or all nines. Check and verify the entry." Anyone know? Do I delete my "EIN" in the preparer section?

I don't know the solution but I strongly advise you to get an EIN.
With all the identity theft these days, I wouldn't want my SSN on every return I send out.
The more I know, the more I don't know.

I think this takes about 8 minutes:

You want to stop using the SSN for anything except SS interactions.
