Turbotax is not accepting the SIN for my child care provider. It is telling me that it cannot be the same as mine or my spouse's, but the SIN is different from both

Please verify that you have not accidentally input your childcare provider's SIN into your or your spouse's personal information pages. 

Further, please verify that you are not accidentally trying to input your or your spouse's SIN in your childcare provider's information page.

TurboTax should allow you to enter valid, unique SINs for all three individuals without showing this error.
