TurboTax says it can't e-file my federal return until I enter a payer's EIN for form 1099-NEC. The employer uses a payer's TIN and not a payer's EIN. What should I do?

My wife has worked for this employer for over a decade, and I have entered the payer's TIN instead of an EIN each year without incident since the employer doesn't have an EIN. Did the e-filing rules change for the 1099-NEC? This employer doesn't have an EIN. Does this mean we can no longer e-file our federal return because of this?
