@gladstonehs1977 , there is never any ids for SSA --- just tell TurboTax that you have Social Security income and you will see two columns for entry of the respective boxes from form SSA-1099. That is all that is required --- you don;t enter it under Pensions ( 1099-R ).
The form I entered into is the SSA 1099 and when I get to the final review it is requiring a EIN number and won't let me go forward to file. Stuck

Delete the form where you entered your SSA-1099. It was entered in the wrong section of the program. There is no EIN on a SSA-1099.
