Yes, if your child care provider uses a Federal Tax ID (EIN), enter that number instead of her social security number

It says it's not a valid SSN.... Which I know it's not a SSN but an EIN! I cannot figured out how to switch it to accept an EIN

Ok, when the program asks "Who provided the care?", select "An organization" then click Continue. For the Organization name, type your provider's name, that way the program will accept the EIN
