This is broken in TurboTax. TurboTax requires the number this year, the IRS does not. I have been using 12-3456789. Hope TurboTax recognizes and fixes this so we don't have to make up a number.

@DanP0428 , only if you try to import the 1099-INT you will be needing a EIN. If you manually enter the form, you will not be required to enter the EIN Number.
