Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): The form has two optional fields, Payer ID and Your ID, and whatever you type appears after each name on the receipt. Businesses often add their EIN; individuals rarely need to. Avoid printing a full Social Security number on a receipt you hand out, since it can be misused; if a client needs your taxpayer number for their records, they usually ask for it on a W-9 form instead.
