Last year the IRS e-file system changed it so it seems like you must enter SOMETHING there to e-file.
AIPCA wrote to the IRS to ask them to remove that from the e-file system.
As far as I can tell, there is NO requirement, but perhaps the IRS "recommends" it.
If your client doesn't want to have his SSN entered, personally, I would enter some other numbers. But that could delay the processing for the return, and could possibly trigger the IRS to otherwise look at the return for other purposes.
