An Employer EIN is exactly 9 digits, no more and no less.  In the format xx-xxxxxxx

 

Contact your employer and get a corrected W-2.

That number looks like it is a state id number.  What are you trying to enter?  A W2 or what?   On a W2  The EIN employer ID number is in box b.  It should be right above the employer's name.
