You are trying to enter it in the wrong section. 

Delete that one (use the Trash Can)

 

Go to 

Wages & Income

Retirement Plans and Social Security

Social Security (SSA-1099, RBR-1099)   START or UPDATE

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.


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
