How can I find my Employer's ID Number, without a w2? I have 2 of them that I need.

I have yet to receive my w-2's from both employers. I was told the were mailed on Jan. 2nd. Is there any way I can get the 2 EID Numbers without the w-2's?

EINs are not published for public view, but are private numbers.

You should wait until you have all of your tax documents before filing.  Even a final pay stub can vary from the actual W-2.

It's April 17th and all I am missing is employeer ID number for three employees. How do I look these up?

@foreverkitten You'll need to contact your employers, or possibly a co-worker who can share the numbers with you.
