To be sure that Turbo Tax has entered that you do not have an Employer Identification Number, in TurboTax Online:
- Click on Federal, on the left menu bar
- Click on Income and Expenses, at the top
- Select Review for Self-employment Income and Expenses
- Select Edit or Review for the name of your business
- Select Update for Employer ID Number
- Be sure the No box is checked and follow directions until you are back at the update screen
You will need to have filed for an Employer Identification Number if:
- You pay employees in your business.
- You don't pay wages, but have excise tax forms or other returns to file that require an EIN.
- You are a sole proprietor or farmer and have a Keogh plan.
- You are required to withhold taxes on income, other than wages paid to a nonresident alien.
If you received a 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC, you may be prompted for the EIN on those forms. If your own business area is already checked No, please see those forms and be sure the EIN is entered.
