This should correct the problem -

Click on Forms on the upper right of the desktop program screen when using Windows

When in Forms mode, on the left side of the screen click on Social Sec to open the Social Security Benefits Worksheet. At the bottom of the page click on Delete Form. Then return to the interview by clicking on Step-by-Step at the top right of the screen.

It depends on where in TurboTax you are entering your Social Security number. If you are entering it in your Personal Information section and you can't enter it try the following:

Go out of your program, close your browser and go back in.
Clear your cache and cookies. Click here for How do I delete cookies? Click here for How to clear your cache.
If you are using a VPN, disable it.
Try using incognito mode.
Try a different web browser, such as Google Chrome or Firefox.
Make sure your software is updated if you are using TurboTax Desktop, you can manually check for updates for your TurboTax program by clicking on "Online" in the black bar near the top of your screen and selecting "Check for Updates."
Try running it as Administrator
