I filed my taxes and in the end I had to review a few things. TurboTax had me verify the start and end date of my work. But it also added my Grant as an Employer to verify as well. TurboTax wanted me to verify the address, so I put the address of my college in. Then next I needed to add the employer ID number, but it’s a pell Grant... it doesn’t have an employer ID number. I have my 1098-T though, that the school provided. I’m still in the reviewing process for my taxes and I’m not sure what to do next.

That sounds like you added the grant as a W-2. Delete that. The Pell grant is (usually) already included in box 5 of the 1098-T. It it isn't, you will be given a chance to enter it as additional scholarship, in the education section, one or two screens after entering the 1098-T.
