Why would you put an EIN in the Preparer Information?

It makes sense why I would put a SSN as I am the individual physically preparing it, but the firm is the one that employs me. I just want to make sure that I am doing this properly.

Because you are not self employed and work for the firm is why you need the EIN.

What if the 1099-MISC is from an individual with a SSN and not an EIN? Where can that be entered since the program requires an EIN?
