I cannot eliminate a misc-1099 request. I don't have any. The update doesn't update. In review I'm asked for EIN that doesn't exist. I can't move forward.

In EASY Step I'm asked if I have a Misc-1099. I click no. The TT says I didn't have one in 2023. Yes, good. Click continue... In Review I'm being asked to enter the EIN number of the Misc-1099 that doesn't exist. I cannot go forward. I don't know if there are any other "errors to fix." How do I get the program to stop asking me to "update" and accept there is no EIN or Misc-1099 to fill in?

First try logging out of the program and logging back in, to stop the TurboTax program from asking you update your Form 1099-MISC information.
