I think I may have put mine for my husband and my husbands for mine and now they won't accept our return. What can I do?

Are you sure you're talking about an EIN (employer identification number) and not a TIN? (Taxpayer identification number.)

EIN's are not assigned to living breathing individuals. They are assigned to businesses, including disregarded entities.

TIN's are assigned to individuals who do not qualify for a social security number.

EIN's are formatted xx-xxxxxxx while TINs are formatted the same as an SSN, xxx-xx-xxxx
