Wrong EIN

I filed 1040 and 1099. My EIN on 1099 is wrong and IRS accepted it. Does anyone know if the irs will correct this mistake for me. I filed 3/15/2020 and was Accepted same day. Currently changed from being processed to still being processed. With tt152 and refund amount.

It depends. Usually if an EIN is incorrect, it will reject rather than be accepted. Now you will need to wait until the return clears processing with IRS.
