    If this is for a W-2, you will need to mail in the return without an EIN. Some states offer a Business website that allows you to look up business EINs. If it is on a 1099-Misc, youu don't have to report it on Form 1099-Misc, although it makes it easier for the IRS to identify.

     HOW TO ENTER without a 1099-Misc

    First, sign in to My TurboTax

    Next, click the orange Take me to my return button

    On the white bar at the top, click Federal Taxes

    Then, Wages & Income

    In the Self-Employment section (you may need to click Show more), next to Income and Expenses, click Start (or Revisit)

    When asked "Did you have any self-employment income or expenses?" select Yes

    You'll see the screen titled "Tell us the type of self-employment work you do." Enter your description, then Continue

    On the next screen "Let's get income for [description]" select the button Additional income. Includes 1099-K, check/cash payments and Continue 

    The next screen will say "Tell us about additional income for your [description] work." List descriptions and amounts on this screen
