The Employers EIN entered on the W-2 is not valid in the IRS e-File database.
⚠️ Before You Begin
To resolve this rejection, you will need:
- The EIN information entered on the rejected W-2
- The employer issued copy of the W-2 (to compare the EIN)
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Verify the EIN on the rejected W-2
Use this when you need to confirm the EIN is correct.
Verify the information entered for the EIN on the rejected W-2 matches the employer issued copy of the W-2.
Step 2: If the EIN matches exactly, contact the employer
Use this when the EIN is correct but the IRS still rejects the filing.
If the information matches exactly, have the taxpayer contact the employer.
