Turbo Tax has advised me that both fed and state returns were rejected for incorrect EIN #'s. I have used the same for the last 11 years since retiring. The numbers are the same however they have always been listed as TIN not EIN. How shall I proceed?

My returned was rejected because of EIN s on 1099. I checked against 1099 & they are correct. Only 2 of them were listed on my return.

What the problem.

This rejection can occur if you mistyped your employer's name or EIN when you manually entered your W-2.

It can also happen if your W-2 is incorrect or if your employer's info in the IRS database is wrong.
