I am trying to manually enter a W-2, but when I put in the EIN of the employer, I get an error from TT saying "Maintenance Notification from Intuit: W-2 import for this employer is unavailable at this time. Please try again on Friday, February 19 February 2022 at 9:00:00 PT."
I don't want to download the W-2. I want to enter it manually, but there is apparently no way to bypass this error. So I cannot do anything with my taxes until mid-February??? WTF?!?!?
Just don't enter the EIN on the first screen and manually enter the W2.
Getting the exact same error. I entered my W2 manually, but when I go to enter my wife's, it asks for the EIN, then I get the error. It does not let me bypass that screen to enter the info manually. So frustrating!
If you are in the Online version:
Right after the EIN screen, do you get Uploading your W‑2 makes taxes easier, and there are two boxes
When you select continue you should be able to make your manual entries.
