German Pension Plan

Hello, I am retired and am receiving monthly payments of the Social Security equivalent from Germany. The payer is: Deutsche Rentenversicherung Bund in Berlin. This is in addition to Social Security payments in the US as I have lived and worked in Germany prior to coming to the US.I just finished my taxes for 2022 using turbotax online and am confused. The system is asking for a form 1099-R and specifically for an EIN number. It appears that without the EIN number, I cannot e-file my taxes.

Is this a new requirement? I have filed this type of income before but was never asked to fill out additional forms. Di I possible use an incorrect line to report this income? Thank you
