TIN says invalid for K1 wkst

[ejdtaxman]

Hopefully one of the fine upstanding practitioners here can help me with this one. 

In attempting to complete the K1 worksheet for a SME LLC I put in the EIN for the sole member. 

Proseries says the EIN is not valid. I can see that it is defaulting to a format for SSN which explains why it is invalid, but I do not know why it is doing that. I have marked the sole member company as an LLCP, so I would have thought it would default to a format for an EIN. 

How can I fix this?

On a 1065? You'll see an error until you add a second partner.
