Using sole-proprietor EIN for rental property

[George Melillo]

Hello,

I run two businesses as a sole proprietor and have an EIN.  My wife and I own a rental property, and this year we are required to file a 1099 for contractor work.  I do not want to give out my SSN, and would like to use my sole proprietor EIN, but there is no place on Schedule E to enter an EIN.  I see two options:

1) Use my EIN on the 1099 and put that same EIN on Schedule E.  The downside is that Schedule E clearly asks for a SSN.

2) Use my EIN on the 1099, put my SSN on the Schedule E, and include a note to describe what I've done.

Has anyone been in a similar situation?  Am I missing something?

Best,

George
