If you need to change the EIN on your W-2, go here:

  1. Select Federal Taxes
  2. Select Wages & Income
  3. You may need to click on Skip to see all income
  4. Scroll down to Wages and Salaries
  5. Start or Update

You can then choose the form you need to change.

I need to fix each of our EIN's . I mistakenly listed mine as [social security number removed] it should be [social security number removed]. On my wifes I mistakenly  listed her EIN as [social security number removed] instead of [social security number removed]
