Business & farm
No, it doesn't. And you don't need to amend since you didn't enter the EIN.
Contractors are considered self-employed as opposed to being employees of a business. So as far as the IRS is concerned your husband had a business for the year. When the system is asking questions about the business that is the business that it is asking about.
You entered the name of the business that paid your husband which won't make any difference as long as you didn't also link it to the business' number.
If your husband is paid by a 1099 next year as well you can enter the name of his business as whatever you choose it to be. Or leave it blank if there is no name for the business.
