I am ready to file my 2020 taxes, but there is one thing that needs my review before submitting. It's asking for 'Payer's federal EIN' for a 1099-NEC Worksheet for some reason. I work for the State of Connecticut and filed my W2. I've never received a 1099-NEC before and have no idea why it's asking for this information. I filled in the 'Employer Name' as "Not Applicable" hoping that would help, but it still requires me to provide a EIN before allowing me to submit my taxes. Please provide me guidance on how to proceed. Thank you so much for your time.
