You do not get a W-2 for unemployment, you should get a 1099-G. If you are being asked for an EIN, it sounds like you are entering the 1099-G in the place for the W-2.
To enter your Unemployment Income you will click the following:
- Federal
- Income and Expenses
- Show More next to Unemployment
- Start Next to 1099-G Unemployment
- Walk through the steps to enter your 1099-G from Unemployment
Don't forget to delete the W-2 entries.
