Why can't I input my SSN on Form 1099-NEC? It is getting pulled up at the federal review section. It will only allow payer's EIN and I cannot click on the SSN box.

In the federal review section of filing it pulls up an error regarding my self-employment. It states: Check this entry. Form 1099-NEC Worksheet (Untitled): Payer's federal EIN You must enter a Federal EIN or social security number for the payer.

Then it displays a mostly grayed out Form 1099-NEC with my name and social autofilled at the top. Next it has a box labeled Payer's EIN, and next to it says or SSN and an empty box. For self employment shouldn't I be putting my SSN there? Why can I not click to fill that box instead?
