Where are you seeing this message?  What form are you entering.....your EIN or your employer's EIN?

My taxes keep getting rejected because it says my employers ein is incorrect. I made sure to triple check it and called the employers to insure they are correct and they are. It is for my w2s but I'm getting emails saying it is rejected

Did you import the W-2?  My suggestion is to delete the W-2 from the W-2 Summary and then manually reenter it and make sure you are entering all the data in the correct boxes.....To get to your summary (you may have a blank w-2 that needs deleting also) just type in  w2 (little letter w no dash) into the search bar and hit enter then use the jump to link - you will see your W-2 summary.  Delete the problem w2(s) and reenter it.   Your error should clear.

There have been a lot of misprints this year. My 1099-R was missing the last number and turbo tax would add a zero to the end. The number missing was a 2, look up your employer's ein and check it against your W2. There was also a case of a 0 that was printed as a Q. Good luck!
