What are EINs and 1099s?

Recently I’ve seen many questions about EINs in the Facebook groups I’m in. In this episode, I talk about what is an EIN and why you would use one, even if your publishing company is setup as a DBA. I also cover what 1099s are and if you need to issue any to your vendors. This info only apply to the US, and is not tax advice.Free Resource: Instructions on how to file out and file an SS-4 form to apply for an EIN, available on my website at  https://indieauthorbizguide.com/resources/ Additional resources: My book, Business and Accounting for Authors has a section about EINs.
