You need to get that from the employer.  What are you trying to do?  If you do not have your W-2 you need more than just the EIN.      If your employer is partnered with TurboTax to allow the W-2 data to be imported into the software you can do that---but you need the actual W-2 so that you can enter the EIN and the amount from box 1 to import the other data from the W-2---which just saves you the little bit of keying in of the other information.   Every 2024 W-2 that you received must be reported on your 2024 tax return, even if they are for small amounts.  Remember that each one of those W-2’s has your Social Security number on it, and that income was reported to the IRS by the employer.  You do not want trouble with the IRS for under-reporting your income or have your refund delayed by having missing income.   ALL of your W-2’s must be entered on the SAME tax return.     Go to Federal>Wages & Income to enter a W-2. After you enter the first one, you click Add Another W-2.     W-2's come from your employer, and they have until January 31 to issue it.  Some employers allow you to import the W-2 through the software, but for security reasons you still need information from the actual W-2 to import it. Some employers have payroll sites that will have your W-2. You might need to phone, drop in, email and/or snail mail an old employer to make sure they know where to send your W-2.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-forms/get-copy-w-2/L8FTim9MO_US_en_US?uid=m68ee4os   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/import-export-data-files/import-enter-w-2/L55HzdeDr_US_en_US?uid=m68efe36

I received an email from TurboTax saying my return was rejected because the birth dates didn't match the IRS and it also said to go back into the tax return on TurboTax and they'd walk me thru how to correct it.  I did that and that's where I got the ACCEPTED status.  I only owe the $28 but I'd like to clear this up.

No, they don't all have to be true. Each of the three notices is asking if your are renting with the intent to make money. If you meet one of them you can select that it is a 'for profit property. This doesn't mean that you must have an overall net profit, but it does mean you are renting your property at fair rental value (FRV).    Fair Rental Value:  This means the rent being charged is what would be charged in the area of the rental for the same type of property. In other words, the price that a property could reasonably be expected to rent for in the current market.
