I have an because I'm using my social and not an EIN. If I decide to get one will I have to reapply for a new EFIN?

If you don't have an EIN, you shouldn't be entering anything there. Have you tried leaving it blank?

Thank you for your help. I talked with intuit support. Leaving that field blank worked, no more issue. Again thank you for all your help.

Are you the paid tax preparer? You should not be entering your Social Security Number as the preparer information (and there isn't really a place for it anyway). Are you referring to where you enter your PTIN?

Yes, I'm a paid preparer. I'm not talking about my PTIN. That is where it should be.

My business does not have an EIN number, so I put my social in under Firm Information, and now I'm getting an error on the return because my SSN has double zero and it is telling me that it shouldn't. I get that if it was an EIN, but my business is run under my social.

You would never use your Social Security Number.

I don't use ProConnect (I use ProSeries), but I don't enter an EIN. Just the PTIN and it doesn't have any problem. I'm not sure if this matters, but did you check the self-employed box?
