Get your taxes done using TurboTax

When I filled out my income as an independent contractor, it was listed as a 1099-NEC and not a 1099-MISC. Why did that happen? Either way I don't have the payer's EIN and I am not sure I am going to be able to get it. Turbotax keeps asking me to fill it out before it will let me file. Can I bypass it somehow? Thanks.
