Error Message When Entering the EIN

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.

Error Message When Entering the EIN

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
