No, you do not have to file a paper return. You can check last year's return for the EIN if you received any unemployment last year, or simply put in any nine digit number to move forward just to see your refund. It's very important to correct it before you file because it will be rejected for an incorrect number. TurboTax would not be able to send the return back to you for correction until the IRS actually rejects it and they do not start taking and testing returns until February 12th.
This should allow you to move forward to see your refund amount, without actually filing until you have inserted the correct number.
