Question

How do I correct my EIN number 'error' if I don't have one, but when I try to use my social security number (like turbo tax suggests) it doesn't work?

You must be entering your Social Security Number for a 1099-MISC that you received, making it look like you received this 1099 from yourself. You need the number of the Payer.
