Payer’s EID number is not listed on 1099-misc form .. what information do I put in ?

You will need to contact the issuer of the 1099-MISC and request the Employer ID number.  They should also issue you a "Corrected" 1099-MISC with the EIN entered.

If they refuse to give you this information, you may enter the amount shown as "Cash Income" and retain the 1099-MISC you received in case the IRS inquires about it, to show you entered the income.
