Why am I being asked "How would you like to apply for an Employee Identification Number?"

Sounds like you have checked a box indicating you needed or wanted to apply for an EIN number. Have you gone through the program and double-checked your entries?

If you continue to have issues please see the link below to contact one of our TurboTax representatives:

What is the TurboTax phone number?

I am also being asked this question. I didn't select anywhere that I wanted an EIN. Does anyone know where it would ask that so I can uncheck it so I am not asked this question? 

Please follow the guidance of DianeW answer here. 

If after following this advise, you are still being prompted for the EIN, please click here to contact customer service. 

I just got asked this question as well.  I *think* it is because in the Miscellaneous Tax Forms section, I chose to "Visit All", and one of the sections is the Application for Employer Identification Number (EIN).  So I think it will just ask that question automatically if you choose "Visit All".  I essentially skipped it by choosing the online option, and ignoring whatever it said to do for that.

I have not to my knowledge "checked a box indicating you needed or wanted to apply for an EIN number"...
