An EIN is exactly 9 numeric digits in the format of 12-3456789.
If there is a alphabetic character in the EIN that is not correct. You will have to contact the payer on the form to get the correct EIN.
EINs are 9 digit numbers, that never include any letters. If there was a "W" in the reported EIN on your W-2, there may also be a typo in the number and you should check with your company's payroll department.
