1099-NEC - EIN or SS# for recipients TIN?

I started doing some consulting in 2022 and created an EIN so I could have a Solo 401k. The company I work for sent me a 1099-NEC and everything looks good and the recipients TIN is my SS#. I believe that's fine, but wanted to double check here to make sure everything aligns tax (ID) wise. Does it matter if the recipient's TIN is my EIN or SS# on the 1099-NEC?

No problem. Just complete Schedule C as you normally would.

It makes no difference whatsoever.

Yes, it's fine. I like to give my EIN when I file my Form W9 with various clients so my SS# is in fewer places, but it doesn't matter from a tax filing perspective.
