Earlier I posted about a Federal ID for the Payer that came back as an invalid number. Could there be an issue with the Turbo Tax software?

As Minh replied to you in the other thread, the EIN you have posted is not correct. The IRS says, "An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a nine-digit number that IRS assigns in the following format: XX-XXXXXXX." Please see the IRS's Understanding Your EIN.

Please recheck what you are actually entering into TurboTax, and contact the Payer to get their correct EIN.

The IRS will not be accepting or rejecting any 2020 tax returns until February 12, 2021.
