Providing your Employer Identification Number (EIN) from your W-2 allows us to identify the easiest way for you to enter your W-2 form (you also need it to e-file).
The best place to look is in Box b of your W-2 form, located right above or below your employer's name and address.
Your EIN will be a 9-digit number with a dash after the second digit (example: 00-0000000). Keep in mind, an EIN is not the same thing as an Employer’s State ID number or your Employee Number.
If you received a Form 1098-T, Tuition Statement, it should include the federal identification number for the college. Otherwise, you may need to contact your school's financial aid department to ask for their EIN.
