An EIN is a 9-digit number. In your question you described an 8-digit number twice. Have you tried adding another 0 to make it 9? I don't know if that will make any difference, but it's something to try. It may still produce the same error of "invalid EIN."
Why is it all zeros? i.e., why is there no Federal EIN? Is this by any chance from a foreign company/account?
Are you using desktop software or online TurboTax?
