Get your taxes done using TurboTax

In order to withhold taxes, a company would need an EIN, so it does make sense that an EIN (not a SSN) would be required if there were actual withholdings on your tax form.   A form with no withholdings can use a SSN number.   But any entry (including zero) in the withholding amount field will trigger the ''missing EIN'' message.      So glad to hear this is resolved and you can now file your taxes!!  @ElizabethAP 🙂
