Go back to the data entry for the tax form that carries the EIN and edit the form.

As an example, for a W-2, go here:

Down the far left side, click Federal.
Across the top, click Wages & Income.
Under Your Income, click Edit/Add to the right of W-2's.
To the right of the individual W-2, Click Edit.
Now you can review or correct the data that you entered.
