Anything that is 11 characters is not an EIN. Ask your employer what their correct 9-digit federal EIN is. (The hyphen doesn't count. The format of a 9-digit EIN is nn-nnnnnnn.) What do you mean by "what they have on file"? You should be getting the EIN from box b on your W-2. If it's more than 9 digits, the employer did not fill out the W-2 correctly.  
You are good then.  No you can't enter that on your 2024 return.
All federal EIN numbers are 9 digits.  It should be in Box b of your W-2.    It can be different from a state ID found in Box 15.  
The money hasn’t been pulled from my account so I’m worried I entered something incorrectly and I’d like to change to another account to see if it will be successful.
*How could I* The page never loaded so I completed everything without getting access
I can't enter the date due even though I'm typing in today's date
I filled out the "Nanny and Household Employee Tax" section, which increased my "taxes owed" by $2800. But I already paid those taxes. How do I enter that?
I gave you amounts.  You can use all of it against your 2024 gains.  The whole 10,000.

This is for roof maintenance after hail that was mandatory by the HOA.
Did you ask your employer?    An EIN is only 9 digits xx-xxxxxxx.   Does it have any leading zeros on it?  Is this on your W2?  Even a  social security number is only 9 digits.  
This does not answer my question. Your answer should list a dollar amount. Nothing more, nothing less.
I did not inherit this HSA from my spouse. Do I choose "Yes" or "No"?

@VolvoGirl Thank you.    @mesquitebean Your logic makes sense to me. Thanks.

Go back over your Illinois state return and on the page titled Here is the income that Illinois handles differently, select Edit next to College savings and prepaid tuition plan contributions.   Click through the questions to remove any entries that are stuck.  Also, check your entries in the other topics under Education as the review message could be referring to any of them.

it was not an estimated tax payment nor was it tax withholding from my pay. The income statement (1099) was from a small inheritance I received after my mom‘s death and it arrived after I had already filed my 2022 returns and made payment owed on my other income.  Since it arrived so late, it was not reported on my federal or state returns. I received a notice of delinquency from the IRS and paid that amount in 2024
"Property" is a general term that includes anything you own, including stocks. The stock sales are supposed to be reported as sales of property. Do not omit them.
