No my issues was not resolved with TurboTax.
I'm sorry, I read your original post wrong as AGI and not EIN.
There are separate EIN's for Federal and State. I would double check that you are using the correct EIN for each field.
Here's how you can fix it:
Sign in to your account and select the Fix my return button. Follow any “fix it” instructions to update the information causing the rejection.
Note: Not all rejections will have explicit guides to fix the information. You’ll need to navigate to the program area to address the cause of the rejection.
Time-saving Tip: If what you originally entered is correct, you won't be able to e-file. There's probably a data mismatch at the government, a dependent that's already been claimed, or some other situation beyond your control that prevents your return from being e-filed. In this case, your only option would be to print and mail in your return. This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return.

I just had to do this myself, I had a typo in entering the EIN on one of our W2's and my initial efile was rejected. Go into check return status and follow the prompts. Eventually you should see all your W-2's listed, with their EINs, on a page. Check each one against your actual W-2 to find the one with the problem. Once you know which EIN is in error, go back to Personal, Income, then "I'll choose what I work on" then from the list that appears, click on "update" next to your W-2 income. Go to the W-2 that has the problem by clicking "edit" then correct the EIN number. Then step through review, file, etc. to re-file it. I haven't got my response back from the IRS yet but hopefully this should take care of it for you.
