Where do i find the employer input code

Try doing the following:

1.      Delete the W-2

2.      When you add a new W-2, the screen will ask you for the employer’s EIN. DON’T PUT ANYTHING HERE.

3.      Instead, just leave the EIN field blank and continue.

4.      Enter your complete W-2 information on the next page. It’s okay to enter the EIN here at the top of the page.

5.      Be sure you enter everything from the W-2 – the input screen is long and needs scrolling.The federal ID number (EIN) of your employer should be a nine-digit number (xx-xxxxxxx).

It is located in box b of the W-2.  If the number in this box has more than 9 digits and/or is not in the format shown above, you should contact your employer to get the correct information.
