Apparently I entered the wrong Tax ID number in 2 places.

@holtld53  To edit the employer's Tax ID number (EIN), you will need to revisit the W-2 section of your tax return.  You can change or delete your W-2 info if you haven't filed your taxes yet.  Refer to the following TurboTax FAQ for instructions:  How do I change my W-2 info in TurboTax? - Community

To edit your individual Tax ID number (ITIN), you will need to revisit the Personal Info section of your tax return:

1. Sign into your account.
2. Under the Personal Info tab, select Continue.
3. Scroll down to the correct individual and select Edit.
4. Enter the correct ITIN in the Social Security Number field.
5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select Continue.

If you have already filed your return and it is accepted, you can only correct the Tax ID number by filing an amended return:  How do I amend a 2019 return in TurboTax?

I cannot get to my info that I have already entered.   I need to finish and submit.  Cannot get pass  the page that tells me to download a browser

@zajkit If you are using the CD/Download version, whenever an update is installed in the CD/Download software it loses track of where you left off. So the next time you open your return it takes you to the beginning. There is no way to get back to where you left off, because the software no longer knows where you left off. But after you save the return again, the next time you open it, it will pick up where you left off, until the next update.

If you exit without saving, it also will not remember where you left off. When you open the return again, it will go to where you were when you last saved it, unless an update has been installed.

You will need to wait until the IRS rejects your tax return. The IRS will not start accepting/rejecting electronically filed tax returns until February 12, 2021.

Please see this: How do I fix a rejected return?

How do I get into my tax returns? I have to correct  employer's Fed id number.  I can't sign in.

You have to sign onto the same online account using the exact same user ID you used to create the  online account.

Close all TurboTax windows on your web browser (including this one).  Copy and paste the account recovery website link onto a new web browser window and run the tool.

Use this TurboTax account recovery website to get a list of all the user ID's for an email address.  Run the tool against any email addresses you may have used - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/account-recovery

If none of the user ID's received will access your  account, then use the option shown in blue on the account recovery website, "Try something else"

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

The Employer Identification Number (EIN) you entered from a W-2 does not match the number that the IRS has for this employer. Either you entered the number incorrectly from the W-2 OR the employer provided an incorrect EIN to you.
