Do I have to give my home address and tax ID number to a customer if requested?

You are required to provide your tax ID number and business address for 1099 purposes. However, you can call the IRS, or go online at WWW.IRS.GOV and receive a separate tax ID number for your business. Give vendors this number, rather than your social security number. Only give out your business address.
