I'm an Au Pair and I'm not sure where to get the Employer ID Number.

I'm on a J-1 non-immigrant Visa. According to IRS website 'Since au pair wages are paid for domestic service in a private home, they are not subject to mandatory U.S. income tax withholding and reporting on Forms 941 and W-2. However, au pair wages are includible in the gross income of the recipients, and au pairs are required to file U.S. individual income tax returns'.

If you are in the US less than 2 years you are a nonresident alien and need to file form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ plus form 8843. THese are not supported by Turbotax.
