The default is to enter the EIN in the EIN format instead of as a Social Security Number. However, on the 1099-MISC input screen, there is an option to change the format. The Button to do so is located underneath the box where you would type the number in EIN format.

I can only access it via "fixing my federal return." I have paid already, so I can't start over. Any suggestions?
