When reviewing a client's return for errors, the program keeps asking for my employer identification number. Since I am self-employed and have no employees, I do not have one. Does this change in the Intuit software mean I have to apply for an EIN now?

They're easy enough to get:
Apply for one "for banking purposes" and stop giving out your SSN.
Did you enter your PTIN? That should eliminate the need for the EIN.
I don't have my EIN entered on the tax returns I file, and it works fine.
