JACKSORH Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 When I check my return for errors, I get an error that the EIN must have 9 digits. I don't have an EIN number only my PTIN that I use on my clients forms and my signature. How can I overide this error or will it impact on me efiling my customer's return. Your help is much apprecicated. Thanks, jacksorh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J R Sandoval EA Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 It may be the W-2's EIN. Did you check it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat in OH Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 When I check my return for errors, I get an error that the EIN must have 9 digits. I don't have an EIN number only my PTIN that I use on my clients forms and my signature. How can I overide this error or will it impact on me efiling my customer's return. I realize I'm way behind on everything, but in preparing my first return today, I got the same message. When I click on the error message, it takes me to the EIN on the signature page of the return so it's nothing to do with the W-2. The program will not create the e-file because of the error. Have you found an answer? Thanks, Cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat in OH Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 OK, ignore my post. After writing it, I was checking around and looked at last year's returns. I realized that I had put my EFIN in the place for the EIN when setting up this year's preparer information. DUH!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
