I am unable to submit our business return, as I am directed to the Statement A - QBI Pass Through Entity Reporting where it asks for each shareholders "EIN", we do not have "EIN's", we have SSN. I feel as though this form should be asking for a "TIN" so we can enter the appropriate number for each shareholder. Has anyone else run into this, and how do I enter the correct information.
I have attempted to enter our socials in the designated space but the formatting is wrong. The next thing it requests is for the shareholder name to be entered but the field won't allow me to input any information.

If you are willing to experiment, you could try to start an 1120-S from scratch and see if the behavior is the same.
It seems unlikely that the transfer would cause this issue, but it is certainly possible.
You might want to contact Support.
What is the TurboTax phone number? (intuit.com)
In the interim, I will pass this issue along to the moderators.
I called Friday, and although they were very nice we were unable to find a solution. I was directed to call the IRS at [phone number removed] which I attempted, but there is no apparent extension that would offer the assistance that I need. I believe this is a mistake on this form, in looking back at 2020 our social was entered on the line in question.
They might have been unable to find a solution as a result of being unable to reproduce the issue.
I have a copy of TurboTax Business and cannot reproduce the issue in a test return. However, the issue could be the result of an artefact from a transfer.
Regardless, you can check Forms Mode and see if you are able to enter an SSN on the Schedule K-1 Worksheet (which should propagate to Statement A).
The K-1 worksheet does in fact show the correct information {SSN} but it is not transferring as needed. The formatting on the page in question is specifically for an EIN vs a SSN. That is the only issue I can image, I think this an issue with the way the software was programed. It's a XX-XXXXXXX vs XXX-XX-XXXX

I suppose a programming error is possible but, if that were the case, why does my Statement show an SSN in that format?
Hmmm, even more curious here's what I'm dealing with on the same page
My screenshot was taken from Forms Mode while yours appears to be from the Interview (Step-by-Step).
Regardless, and as a shot in the dark, did you transfer a 2020 1120-S into the program for 2021 or did you start a 2021 return from scratch?

Ok, threw away all my hard work and completely started a new return from scratch without transferring last year's information and had no issues. This confirms to me that there is a flaw in the software. Done, filed and over it.

It has been reported. Maybe they will fix it.
I had the exact same issue and cant resolve it. I have not started a new return from scratch - just transferred the data from last year's software. I have tried deleting the form "Statment A " under forms but it re-appears when I try to e-file.
Where do I report to Intuit so they can fix the problem.
Thanks
I am also have the same problem. I have tried updating in form mode and also tried deleting the form. So frustrating.
We have tested transferring prior year K-1 data but are unable to reproduce the experience you have seen. It would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2021" file to test further.
If you would be willing to send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information, here are the instructions:
Go to Online in the TurboTax Business header.
This diagnostic copy (numbers only; no personal info) of your tax file will allow us to see the same experience you are having. If we are able to determine the cause, we'll reply here and provide you with a resolution.
Thanks Patricia,
I just sent my file - my token number is 919415.
I did update TurboTax with the latest updates from Feb 10 and tried to file again but the same problem. I had called Intuit and they had told me the problem would be fixed in the Feb 10 updates.
My email address is [email address removed] in case you need to reach me.
Thanks,
I am encountering the same issue. Let me know if you need another sample file to help debug.

I have exactly the same issue. I have not tried redoing the taxes from scratch. Hope there is a fix for Turbotax
I had the same issue on my return. After spending hours trying everything recommended and that I could think of, I ended up deleting the return and completing a new return. It worked correctly the second time.
I am having the same exact problem. Form 1120S Statement A - QBI Pass-through Entity Reporting has an error, needs a Shareholder's EIN but its formatted as a Corporate EIN XX-XXXXXXX. Then if I enter my Corporate EIN it asks for a Shareholder's Name and you can't fill anything into the field.
Please update Turbo Tax and fix this so I can file my return. I'd rather not try to delete and redo it, I assume upon checking for errors again the same problem will occur.
You might want to follow the instructions in the post (above by @PatriciaV) with respect to reporting a possible bug in the program.
I think I found a work around, goto forms, delete 199 Wrk Sheet. Save the file. Run the Check Errors again, you should not see any errors. Now go back to the forms section, in the top Select Open Forms, Select 199 Wrk Sheet (would be under 1020S forms). Reneter the information for the worksheet. Rerun the error and it should work.
