I think we may be thinking about two different things here. When you first indicated that you do not need an EIN, this is for your business. However your issue may be related to a 1099 NEC form that you reported in your return as an income source. When the 1099 NEC screen asked who paid you, did you indicate that payer federal ID number was formatted like an EIN XX-XXXXXXX? Check this anyway to see if this was the source of your issue. This may be the missing information you are looking for. Here is a screenshot of the screen.
