i received a 1099-NEC for compensation due to short term disability, i DO NOT own a business

i attempted to fill out information under 1099-NEC. My form does NOT contain required information.

i DO NOT own a business and cannot give a business name or address as they do not exist

You can enter the 1099-NEC this way if it was not received for self-employment:

1. Wages & Income
2. Other Common Income
3. Select Income from a 1099-NEC
4. Enter the payer's name
5. EIN Number
6. Amount you received
7. Describe the reason for this 1099-NEC = short-term disability
8. Does one of these uncommon situations apply?
9. Click This is not money earned as an employee or self-employed individual,

1099-NEC received Form does NOT contain a EIN number.

I only have (payers name, recipient name, payer TIN, Recipient TIN, & non-employee compensation)

again, the first issue is i do not own a business.  This is REQUIRED information in order to continue, and that cannot be provided/submitted. The first question asked is "Tell us the type of self-employment work you do"

I do not know how to enter this form. Even is I "go with it" and continue to fill boxes to get the page headed "OK, let’s get some details from your 1099-NEC", I am once again at a standstill as I do NOT have a "payer's federal ID number". Nor does my document contain any number sequence that fits either the formate or correct count of sequenced  numbers. ei (XX-XXXXXXX) OR (XXX-XX-XXXX)

Ive attempted support via phone. The first attempt was with call back option. I was promptly called only to be told by a machine "this is the last attempt to call. Goodbye". I called the second time, and after listening to the entire menu the call went completely silent for close to 4 minutes before ending. I attempted call back option again, only this time my screen said that if i needed assistance that i should call support or request a call/email.

for my third attempt calling, once i got through the machine it sounded as if my call was accepted, and the receiver had set their headset down. i heard a sounds that resembled eating from a bag of chips. then after 4 and a half minutes the call was ended.

I do not understand why I was hung up on 3 times without ever speaking to a person for assistance. I am not willing to try that again.

any assistance on here would be appreciated
