You don't need to file if your only income is from SS.

If Social Security was your only income you are not required to file a tax return unless you have a 1095A for marketplace health insurance.

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.
