Can a w2 from last year be imported to obtain the ein number of an employer

[JulieS]

No, you can only import a 2023 W-2 into the current tax program. 

If you need to EIN of your employer, you can find it in box b of your W-2, or you can contact your employer directly.

No.   First---only a 2023 W-2 can be imported.   But in order to import a W-2, you need the EIN, the amount from box 1 and the control number in box d.

You cannot import a 2022 W-2, if that is what you mean.   What are you trying to do?   Do you need a copy of a W-2 from 2022?

 W-2’s come from employers.  There is not a federal or national website that provides W-2’s

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.
