I received an email stating this but have yet to receive any updates on the software I purchased to filing as well as which employer. Has anyone else experienced this and how do you find out which employer or learn what is wrong with your filing. The software says I have no red flags or issues...

TIA.

The name or EIN for an employer on your W-2 doesn't match IRS records

Next step

We'll help you get this updated on your federal return and e-file .

To update your return

Once you've opened your return in TurboTax, the details about what needs updating will be displayed.

From there we can walk you through making the updates you need and help you e-file your return. If it isn't possible to e-file your updated return, we'll make sure you have everything you need to print and file your tax return by mail.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I logged in yesterday evening and just now and there is still no update. I purchased the Home and Biz software from Costco. I logged in online and the only thing on that is 2018 tax returns. Both TurboTax online and the purchased software are not providing which employer and/or flagging that there is an actual issue.
