My return won't e-file because it keeps asking me for my EIN for a self-employed business. I don't have an EIN, I just use my social. It's for the 1099-NEC form

As you walk through the questions in TurboTax self-employed, you will be asked if you have your own EIN?  When you answer no, it will use your SSN instead of the EIN.
