EIN Not Hyphenated on W-2

Hello. I am reaching out to see how to handle something. I noticed that on one of my W-2s, the EIN is not hyphenated. Is this going to cause an issue when I try to file? I came across a thread on here where it seems someone's return was rejected due to this discrepancy (I guess since the program automatically adds in the hyphen), and it was apparently suggested by the person answering their thread that this person would have to mail in their return. Would a hyphen not being on the actual W-2 cause this much of a problem? How should I handle?

 

Thanks so much in advance!

EIN Not Hyphenated on W-2

As long as the numbers are correct and there are still nine (9) digits, the lack of a hypen should not cause any problems, no.
