I am trying to use ProConnect to file my own taxes.  I have been receiving a 4513 critical error stating that the firm EIN and my SSN cannot be the same.  I am a sole proprietor and do not need an EIN. I have chosen self-prepared option but to no avail.  How do I resolve this error?

If you don't have an EIN, you should not make an entry in the field for an EIN.

I think that is automatically input and I can't seem to find the input/override for it.  Could you point me in the right direction?

"I am a sole proprietor and do not need an EIN."

Get one, and stop using your SSN professionally. You don't want it out in the world like that.
