Which version(s) of TurboTax allow me to enter an EIN?

Thank you

An EIN is an employer identification number.  It is sometimes also called a federal tax ID number.    It will be on any W-2 or on some other tax documents.   What are you trying to do?

I am trying to do an insolvent estate.

So you need a Tax ID?

I did get an EIN/TIN for my mother's estate.

I have TurboTax Deluxe for Windows. I open the app, then select Start a New Return, then Continue without Transferring. Then I select Continue, and next is some misc questions, name, birthdate, zip code, etc. At the Do any of these apply? question, I select the Passed away before filing this return box and a Passed away date box is added. I enter 05/08/2020 and I receive a Please enter a passed away date in 2021. The software won't let me go any further. How do I get the estate forms?

The estate return (1041) must be prepared using TurboTax Business.  See .Which TurboTax do I need to file a return for an estate?

The fiduciary of a domestic decedent's estate, trust, or bankruptcy estate files Form 1041 to report:

• The income, deductions, gains, losses, etc. of the estate or trust.
• The income that is either accumulated or held for future distribution or distributed currently to the beneficiaries.
• Any income tax liability of the estate or trust.
• Employment taxes on wages paid to household employees.

To do a 1041 Estate/Trust return you need Turbo Tax Business.  It  is a separate program from Home & Business.  It is not available to do online or on a Mac.  You can buy the Window's version here…..
