I cannot get by "How is your payer's federal ID number formatted" on the 1099-NEC I am trying to include. The NEC has the payer's TIN which is her SSN, not an EIN.

Thank you Robert and MesquiteBean. Neither of those seemed to work, but a friend who has used TurboTax previously was able to assist.

Congrats!    Another user in a different thread reported his workaround when a $0 figure in withholding was the culprit.  @BigArts  wrote the following:

"Finally figured out this headache. Leave box 4 "federal income tax withheld" BLANK, dont put in $0.

Any input into this box triggers a requirement for an EIN and won't allow a SSN."

I am in the exact same boat. I have checked for updates to the app, there are none. I have deleted the 1099 and re-entered. Same error. I have restarted the app. No help. I logged in to the website and tried it there. Still.no luck. This is so frustrating. I have seen others saying they are also having this issue and it was supposedly a know bug which was fixed, but clearly it is not. This will be the last time I use Turbo Tax.
