Then that is possibly the problem as in my case, the name used with the EIN is not the last name. It is the name of the business and so the name control is not the first 4 characters of the last name. I have confirmed with the IRS what control name is being used and the last name is not it. I have also confirmed with them that it is acceptable to use the same EIN for the household employee wages. I have used turbotax for many years with the same EIN and this issue with schedule H didn't begin until the previous tax year (2021).
What happens if the first name and last name are switched? Put the last name in the first name column and the first name in the last name column?
