I have a w2 from a 3rd party (short term dis). There are taxable wages in box 1 but there is no valid EIN#. How would I file this since it's been rejected (bad EIN)?

Box 1 have wages.  Box 13 says 3rd party. No EIN it was called something else

The "EIN" is sometimes called the "Payer's Identification Number," but it is always found in Box b of your W-2.  When you enter the EIN, be certain you do not enter a dash or spaces in the TurboTax box, as this will cause an invalid EIN.
