What is a College EIN-1? And were do I find it on the 1098-T? I filled out all questions for the College initially. At final check it says I need EIN-1?

What is a (college school EIN-1?) And were do I find it on the 1098-T? Why is Turbo Tax asking for my college student's (School EIN-1)? It is only asking for one of my college students and not the other?  I filled out all questions for the college and entered the 1098-T information initially. Then at the final check it said it needs the school EIN-1??? The EIN-1 question was never asked initially and not asked for the other student???? Thanks Kelly

The school's EIN is found under the school name and address box on the 1098-T.  It is titled Filer's federal identification number and is right above the student's name.

The final check is asking me to enter the school EIN but I am not seeing how to enter it.

On my 1098-T it says “FILER’s employer identification no.” Underneath the University name and address, is this the same thing?
