You ask the employer for a corrected W-2 that includes it.

@dionna_f very much agreeing with @xmasbaby0 for a W-2. However, if it is a 1099-R or even for W-2 sometimes and for some states the Federal (EIN) is also the State ID. So if it blank you possibly can get away with using the federal id and see if that works -- I know this is true for MI at least

@pk Good point---my brain just went to W-2---you are right about other documents! Thank you!
