What is a federal EIN #? I’m an independent personal trainer and this is the first year I’m filing self-employment taxes

Is this a required component of the return? Thanks in advance for the help.

No, you don't need an EIN, an Employer Identification Number for your self-employment work. Please see a previous on-point TurboTax response below by TurboTaxGeoffreyG, "Do I need a EIN number if I am self-employed?"

My W2 lists two versions of wages and income tax. One for New York and one for "TOTAL STATE". I did not work/live in New York for all of last year. Is this wrong?
