A Fed.ID (EIN) number has this format XX-XXXXXXX.
If the EIN number on your W-2 does not have a total of nine numbers it is not a valid EIN and it will be rejected by TurboTax. If the EIN is incorrect, contact your employer to obtain the correct EIN.
You may need to delete the W-2 to flush out any issues.
Follow these steps to delete a W-2.
You may enter the EIN into TurboTax with or without the "-".
I am having the same issue. I have entered the information from my W-2, Box C, exactly as it appears on my W-2 and the program will not accept it. I have deleted it and entered it again. It will not accept the correct name. It adds amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp after the "&" in the name.
Try changing "&" to "and" or leaving it out altogether. The IRS matches W-2s by social security number so you will not have an IRS or e-file issue if the name is slightly different from how it is spelled on your W-2.
