Seems like it's broken. I enter the SSN in the 1099 MISC section, but when i get to the Review portion before filing i'm presented with a 1099 MISC that has SSN greyed out and is forcing me to use an EIN.

It's not broken, here is how you can use a social security number format for your payer's identification number in TurboTax:

  1. While in your Tax Home,
  2. Select Search from the top right side of your screen,
  3. Enter 1099-Misc,
  4. Select Jump to 1099-Misc,
  5. Select Edit next to your W-2,
  6. You will be asked How is your payer's federal ID formatted? Enter like a Social Security Number as shown below.
