EIN Number

When you entered the EIN did you enter the "-"?  The format for an EIN is XX-XXXXXXX.  When you enter the EIN do not enter the "-" just enter the numbers. If this does not resolve the issue post a reply for additional help.

EIN Number

This rejection can occur if you mistyped your employer's name or EIN when you manually entered your W-2. It can also happen if your W-2 is incorrect or if your employer's info in the IRS database is wrong.

 

Here's what to do:

  • Sign in to your account and select Fix my return.
  • At the Welcome back to TurboTax message, select Fix it now.
  • Follow the instructions to fix the error. The employer name and EIN in TurboTax must exactly match the information in boxes b and c on your W-2 form.
  • When finished, follow the rest of the instructions to re-file your return.
