Retirement tax questions

@CherGetInHere   We know it's  asking for the payer's EIN.  BUT BUT people are trying to enter their Social Security SSA-1099 in the WRONG PLACE as a W2 or 1099R!  There is nothing to fix.   If you enter it as a 1099R or W2 it will end up on the wrong line on your 1040 and the IRS will say you didn't report it. 

 

Enter a SSA-1099, SSA-1099-SM or RRB-1099 under

Federal Taxes (Personal for Home&Business)

Wages and Income

Then scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security

Then the second line - Social Security (SSA-1099. RRB-1099) - click the Start or Revisit button

 

This is from 2020 but there is no Payer EIN box  on the SS entry screen.
