Why does E-filing require you to enter a payers EIN on a 1099NEC? Can I not e-file if the Payer only has a SSN?

I get to the very end of the process and TurboTax says I need to fix my federal return and requires that I add my Payer's EIN, which they do not have. The form says EIN OR SNN and I've entered the SSN. Do I have to file by mail because of this? Why didn't I have to last year? Has something changed this year?
