Providing your Employer Identification Number (EIN) from your W-2 allows us to identify the easiest way for you to enter your W-2 form (you also need it to e-file).
The best place to look is in Box b of your W-2 form, located right above or below your employer's name and address.
Your EIN will be a 9-digit number with a dash after the second digit (example: 00-0000000). Keep in mind, an EIN is not the same thing as an Employer’s State ID number or your Employee Number.
For more information on correcting your EIN, please see the TurboTax FAQ below:

There have been a lot of misprints this year. My 1099-R was missing the last number and turbo tax would add a zero to the end. The number missing was a 2, look up your employer's ein and check it against your W2. There was also a case of a 0 that was printed as a Q. Good luck!
