Missing EIN for W2

SzoraOutrider — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 18:46:23 GMT

I am missing a W2 from an employer. I got a Wage and Income Transcript from the IRS so I know the income information. I checked I have a special situation in the W2 section and filled out the info that I was missing the W2, tried to get it, etc. But TT won't let me file the return without the EIN even though I checked special situation and (I assume) Form 4852 is included in my return.

Can you get the EIN from your employer? Or do you have any prior-year W-2's or payroll stubs that may have your employer's EIN on them?

Unfortunately no, they are unresponsive and I only worked for them in 2024. I didn't download my pay stubs and now I am locked out of the system.

You will have to mail your return in if you can't get the identification number.
