What to do when I typed in the wrong ein number

Are you talking about entering the wrong EIN for your W-2? If so, go to Wages & Income, navigate to W-2s, then delete the W-2 entry with Delete or the trash can.

 

If you are referring to an EIN elsewhere, you would generally follow the same process - get to the list of those forms and delete the form that you had previously caused to be created.

The format for an EIN is XX-XXXXXXX.  When you enter the EIN do not enter the "-" just enter the numbers.  The "-" takes the place of a number so the number entered is one digit short causing an issue.
