Are you entering your SSA-1099 in the wrong section? Reporting an SSA-1099 does not require an EIN or TIN. Be sure you are not mistakenly in the W-2 section or the 1099-R section.
If it's asking for an EIN number you are entering it in the wrong place. There is no EIN on social security SSA-1099. So delete it and enter it in the right place.
Have you filed yet? If not, do they both have the same ssn on them? Add them together before you enter it. It even says that at the top of the entry screen. Or if you are married and you each have a SSA-1099 there should be 2 columns on the screen for you and spouse.
Enter a SSA-1099, SSA-1099-SM or RRB-1099 under
Federal Taxes
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
After you enter it keep going. There are follow up questions you need to answer. Especially look for if you lived in a Foreign country. Should be No.
