Can you please clarify your question. Are you trying to enter your SSA-1099, a spouse, or a dependent relative? I can only surmise that the information you are attempting to enter is for an individual without a correct TIN or social security number in the personal information section.

Actually...if you are entering yoru SSA-1099, and the software is asking for a TIN ????

Then you are entering it in the wrong area/form !!

The Sofware only asks for that for the 1099-R forms, and an SSA-1099 is NOT a 1099-R.

Delete what you've entered there, and go look for the SSA-1099 menu line on the Wages&Income page.
