Thank you for your response.  Here is the confusing part.  Intuit ProSeries Basic 2022 software is labeling this field as PAYER'S TIN as opposed to EIN.  The formatting of these two number is different as well as one (TIN) is a federal ID number and EIN is a state ID number.  Once I ignored the label on the 1099-G worksheet and put the GA EIN number in the "TIN" field, my issue was resolved.  I agree that these fields should be dropped all together but if they are going to stay, the label on the Intuit forms need to be correct.

Thank you again for your help.
