Only you can access your TurboTax account and your erturn on that account. Nobody else can. If you have already e-filed your return and it has been accepted by the IRS, then you can't change anything without going through the amending process. Take special note that if the IRS has not *ACCEPTED* your e-filed return, then under no circumstances and with no exceptions will you *EVER* click that AMEND button. If you do, you risk finding yourself in a nightmare.

Did your return reject?  The EIN's are not in TT's system, but rather in the IRS system.
Also, it is not safe to use you email address as a screen name on this public forum.

Providing your Employer Identification Number (EIN) from your W-2 allows us to identify the easiest way for you to enter your W-2 form (you also need it to e-file).

The best place to look is in Box b of your W-2 form, located right above or below your employer's name and address.

Your EIN will be a 9-digit number with a dash after the second digit (example: 00-0000000). Keep in mind, an EIN is not the same thing as an Employer’s State ID number or your Employee Number.
