My EIN # on my 1095C does not match my w2, is this ok?

Yes, that's ok and makes sense.

The EIN on your W-2 is your employer.

The EIN on your 1099-C is the number for the "Creditor" not for you.

Your Social Security Number should be listed next to the creditor on Form 1099-C as the "Debtor TIN".

Your Social Security Number should also be listed on your W-2.

And....you do not enter a 1095C on a tax return. You only save it for your own records. The only health insurance document you should enter --- if you have one--- is a 1095A if you had marketplace health insurance from healthcare.gov. Do not enter a 1095C at all.
