You are entering the SSA-1099 in the wrong section of the program. Delete the Form 1099-R you started to enter.

To enter Social Security benefits reported on form SSA-1099

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
On Social Security (SSA-1099, RRB-1099), click the start or update button

Or enter ssa-1099 in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to ssa-1099

If it's asking for an EIN number you are entering it in the wrong place. There is no EIN on social security SSA-1099. So delete it and enter it in the right place.

If you only get ssi or SS or SSDI it is not taxable and you do not have to file a return.

Try going to the search box and type in SSA-1099 or Social Security Benefits. That will give you a Jump To link to take you directly to it.

Enter a SSA-1099, SSA-1099-SM or RRB-1099 under

Federal Taxes on the left side or top

Wages and Income

Then scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security

Then the second line - Social Security (SSA-1099. RRB-1099) - click the Start or Revisit button

Where are you being asked this question? The SSA-1099 is issued by only one source - the US Government, so they don't need to know the Payers ID number.
