The employer ID number (EIN) is 9 digits long and is usually in the format XX-XXXXXXX. If you enter the EIN without the dash TurboTax will automatically add the "-". It is not unusual for the name and address of your employer to be from another location, state, or a different name. If you have entered the correct 9 digits for the EIN and have any questions about it being correct contact your employer to verify the EIN and company name and address.
