“You dont want your customers to know who you are?”
Customers knowing me and my work IS TOTALLY different than their staff and accountants and payer services having my SSN.
I do not advertise my SSN now do I.
Im a tradesman one of my retail clients asked me for my ss # one year said they wanted to 1099 me i said sure but i need your ss # in return. that stopped that
What’s the big deal?
If you have a pilots license your license number is your social security number.
if you are on medicare your medicare number is your social security number.
Personaly I don’t care who has my social security number.
