If you have an EIN number, This number will be placed in Schedule C. While you are creating your Business Profile in TurboTax, you will be asked if you have an EIN. 

If you have already created a Business Profile please follow the steps below to edit your profile and enter your EIN: 

  1. Log into TurboTax Online and access your Tax Return through the Timeline
  2. From your Welcome Page in the upper right-hand corner find the Search Box and type Schedule C (capital Sand C) hit enter and from the search options click on Jump to Schedule C 
  3. Then (assuming your business has already been set up in TurboTax**), you'll want to click Edit next to your business
  4. From the next page you will find the section Business Profile and click on Update
  5. You will now be taken to the page where you can update your Business Information. Scroll down, find and click Edit to the section Employer Id Number and you will be able to enter your EIN. 

**If you don't have a Business Profile you can create one from this page by clicking Add a Business
