There is no Payer ID for a SSA1099.  You are trying to enter it in the wrong place.

 

 

 Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security  (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.

I tried to disregard it and go on, but it would not let me file. 

It keeps kicking me back asking me for the EIN number.  I tried

putting my SS number but it kicked that out too.
