HOPEFULLY THIS ISNT TO CONFUSING

for those of you who use adsense or no anyhthing about it, i made like 10 dollars, and my account is on hold until i enter my pin (just came in the mail), cell number, and then it brings me to some taxpayer shit and wants me to either enter my SSN or my EIN? i have no idea what my EIN even is, you have a choice to enter one of them, but there no way in hell im entering my SSN over the internet.
so guys what do i do?

Adsense is not a scam.  If you are actually on google.com you are not being scammed, and the SSN is probably because the ad earnings are taxable income.  I would still email Google first, though.

lakeeffect has it. It is taxable income and Google is legally obligated to report your earnings to the IRS. In order to do so they need your SSN/EIN.

Just ensure that you truly are on a secure Google site and it will be alright.
