Where is it asking for 6 digits?  W2 and 1099 have 9 digit EIN on them.  6 digits would be for something else.  Are you entering a 1099NEC for self employment and it wants a 6 digit code?  That is a business code for your self employment business.

 

Schedule C line B Business Code is a 6 digit number for your activity.  Here are the IRS instructions for Schedule C.  Business codes start on page 17.
