Question

Error Message When Entering the EIN

Forum|Forum|4 years ago

When I place in the EIN from the employer on the W-2, and press the button continue, I receive the error "W-2 import for this employer is unavailable in this product at this time". The system will not allow me to pass this area. I do not intend to import the information from the employer and would like to just enter it manually myself.

On that first page that has a box to enter the EIN ? Don't enter anything in that box !

go to the lower-rt corner of the screen and hit "Change how I enter my form"

...then the next page "Type it in myself"

___________________________

When you get to the main form entries...then you can enter the company's EIN, along with everything else on yoru W-2
