At the review stage, can't move on and had to go back,asking for an EIN, but there are no employees, only myself.

First, the Business section, then Business Profile, where it states "Enter Employer ID Number, if any", please make sure "No" is selected. Please see the attached photo.

Second, if you entered a Form 1099-Misc, you need to enter Payer's Employer ID No. (EIN) OR you social security number. Don't type in both set of ID numbers. Please see the attached photo.

No is checked. I don't have any employees.Work for myself like last year. Not sure why it continues to hold to needing a EIN.
