I want to change my EIN on W2

Why?   Did you enter the EIN incorrectly?   Did you already e-file?   If you did not e-file you can go back to the W-2 screen and edit the EIN you entered.   If you e-filed and the return is rejected, you can fix it and re-file.   If the return is accepted, leave it alone unless you get a message or letter from the IRS about it.
