If you have already e-filed your return and it's been rejected due to EIN not matching IRS records, you can use the link provided below for assistance:

 

E-file reject FW2-502

 

If you have not e-filed already, you can follow the steps below to make those changes before you e-file:

 

1. In the search box type: W-2,

2. click on Jump to W-2,

3. On the W-2 summary screen, click Edit next to the W-2 on the return,

4. Make sure the EIN in Box b exactly matches what's on your W-2 form. If not, make the correction

5. Make sure the info in the Employer's Name and Address fields match your paper W-2. If not, make the correction.
