Employers name doesnt fit

Enter as much of your employer's name as will fit there. If some letters are missing from the end this will not be a problem. The IRS uses the EIN number as the primary method of employer identification on your W-2 forms. They also look at the first four letters or so of the employer name to see if they match.
