Turbotax has no access to IRS or employer EINs.  you could file form 4852 (substitute W-2) but the IRS first wants you to contact the employer for a corrected w-2 and then contact them before filing it.  So Turbotax was correct in telling you to contact the IRS. Even a tax professional couldn't help except by getting a power of attorney from you and contacting the iRS on your behalf.

Contact IRS with your employer's name and address ready, and they will tell you how to proceed.

@renerangel0826  Are you asking about the Employer EIN for W2 box b?  (you said ein employee).  Did you get a W2 with a missing or wrong EIN?  How do you know  the EIN is wrong?  Or did they pay you as a 1099  instead of a W2 employee?  Or is the control number wrong in W2 box d or your SSN wrong in in box a?
