TT won't allow me to enter a W-2 Manually

I am trying to manually enter a W-2, but when I put in the EIN of the employer, I get an error from TT saying "Maintenance Notification from Intuit: W-2 import for this employer is unavailable at this time.  Please try again on Friday, February 19 February 2022 at 9:00:00 PT."

 

I don't want to download the W-2.  I want to enter it manually, but there is apparently no way to bypass this error.  So I cannot do anything with my taxes until mid-February???  WTF?!?!?

    Just don't enter the EIN on the first screen and manually enter the W2.

    Getting the exact same error.  I entered my W2 manually, but when I go to enter my wife's, it asks for the EIN, then I get the error.  It does not let me bypass that screen to enter the info manually.  So frustrating!

    If you are in the Online version:

     

    Right after the EIN screen, do you get Uploading your W‑2 makes taxes easier, and there are two boxes

    • Type it myself and
    • Upload it from my computer?

    When you select continue you should be able to make your manual entries.
