There is no Payer ID for a SSA1099. You are trying to enter it in the wrong place.

Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.

If you want enter your Social Security benefits on your tax return, you do not need an EIN for the Social Security Administration.

In TurboTax Online, open your return
Click on Search (magnifying glass icon) at the top right of your screen
In the Search box, enter form SSA-1099 and click Enter
In the search result box, click on Jump to form SSA-1099
TurboTax will take you directly to the section where you can start entering your form SSA-1099.

Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security

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

I tried to disregard it and go on, but it would not let me file.

It keeps kicking me back asking me for the EIN number. I tried

putting my SS number but it kicked that out too.
