NONE of the supplied 'answers' work. TurboTax is asking for the PAYER'S TIN, that is, the TIN of the United States Government, ***NOT*** the taxpayer or PAYEE TIN. You can't get around this feature in TurboTax - stop saying it is so simple. It is not. Well guess what the SSA doesn't have a TIN because the US Government is NOT a taxpayer. TurboTax should cancel this required feature IMMEDIATELY.
FIX: Enter YOUR SSN in this format: 12-3456789 and it moves on. You're welcome in 2024.
