That is because Social Security Administration does not have one.  The EIN is usually for employers. It sounds that you are in the wrong section of data entry. Please follow steps below to enter social security benefits:

  1. Click on Federal Taxes
  2. Click on Wages and Income
  3. Scroll down to the Retirement Plans and Social Security
  4. Select Social Security (SSA-1099, RRB-1009)

You are trying to enter the SSA-1099 you received either in the section for a W-2 or for a Form 1099-R.  Back out of whichever section you are using and delete the form.

 

To enter Social Security benefits reported on form SSA-1099

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security
On Social Security (SSA-1099, RRB-1099), click the start or update button

 

Or enter ssa-1099 in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to ssa-1099

I am not employed at SSA. I have a client who is employed at SSA. What is the SSA EIN number?

Then ask your client to provide you the W-2 they received from the SSA.  You will not get an EIN from a TurboTax web-based user forum.
