EIN number

An erroneous EIN is showing up on the QBI worksheet and Form in my 1040.  The business on the QBI worksheet is my husband's schedule C, which is NOT Qualified income and I marked it so in the step by step interview for schedule C.  The name of the business is his name, and he also has a W-2 in his name, but he does not have an EIN for his schedule C income.  I cannot figure where this EIN is pulling from but otherwise I am ready to e-file my return.  If I go into the Form view and override the QBI worksheet and erase the erroneous EIN, will my TT return still be eligible for E-File?

Go to Forms mode, find the Schedule C form for your husband's business in the left column Click on the Schedule C form and it will open in the window.  Scroll down past line 48 to the Qualified Business Income Smart Deduction Worksheet.  On question C, delete any entry in that box, and leave it blank.
