Child and Dependent Care Credit

It's asking me for a provider name (first and last name) and the SSN.  Our care is provided by an entity.  I have an EIN, but there is not a place to enter that.  I keep being taken in a loop and cannot complete filing.

    At the screen Let's get your care provider's ID, select:

     

    • Employer Identification Number,
    • Social Security number, or
    • I do not have an ID for a provider.

     

    Make sure that the correct identification has been selected.
