Turbotax asks to apply for Employer Identification Number

Hello,

 

I'm stuck at this step while continuing to finish my federal taxes.

Is this because I reported some amount in the 1099-MISC section? I received points from my credit card for referring a friend (which is not the usual sign-on bonus). Though I didn't receive any 1099-MISC from my bank as the amount is less $600, I did however report it in the 1099-MISC section to avoid any issues.

 

I'm not self-employed and I do not own a business. What is the best option I have? Do I need to delete the 1099-MISC section?
