You don't need to enter an EIN into TurboTax to report your social security income. What form are you trying to complete?
No - I entered the SSA in the right area but still asking for EIN for Social Security Administration. I'm just going to by-pass and submit. Hopefully it will be accepted

If you were in the correct section for entering a SSA-1099, then where did you enter the amount for box 5?
A SSA-1099 does not have an EIN on the form. Therefore TurboTax would not have a SSA-1099 section asking for an EIN.
Use this procedure to enter a SSA-1099
To enter Social Security benefits reported on form SSA-1099
Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
