IM PREPARING A RETURN WITH AN IRS TRANCRIPT ONLY. CLIENT DOESNT HAVE THEIR FORMS. CAN I OVERIDE THE ERROR CHECK TO BE ABLE TO EFILE THE RETURN? OR SHOULD I MAIL IT IN? THE RETURN IS CALCULATED CORRECTLY THE ONLY PROBLEM IS I DONT HAVE ANY OF THE W2 INFO, EIN# NAME, ADDRESS AS THE TRANCRIPT DOESNT PROVIDE ALL THAT INFO. HAS ANYONE DONE IT BEFORE??? I CALLED CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY CALL.?.

THANKS,

there is no workaround for EFiling without employer EINs on W2s.

No. You need the EIN in order to EFile. They could try calling the employer or if they know any of the other employees that might have a W2 they could give him the EIN.

THERE IS TOO MANY... 4 W2'S AND 2 1099'S

WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS DONE THE WORK AROUND BEFORE SINCE THE AGENT ON THE PHONE TOLD ME IT WAS MY DECISION.

Wage and income transcript should have the TIN

If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround

You have to get an unmasked transcript for that.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Why all of the shouting? The neighbors are complaining that they can hear you way down at the end of the block?
