What should happen is the employer would file corrected payroll reports with the IRS and SSA (including corrected W-2's showing $0 wages paid under the bad number), and then submit payroll tax reports under the correct number, including W-2's that report the wages paid under the correct EIN number. -- Paul A.

| Incorrect EIN on W-2 - Need to Amend 1040? Employer changed structure during 2004, formed new corporation, obtained new EIN. Employer issued W-2's in January, but now discovers the old EIN is on the W-2; says they will be issuing corrected W-2's shortly to all employees. Employer says if employees already filed 1040, they need to file 1040X to amend return. There are no dollar changes on the W-2, the only change is the EIN. If employees have electronically filed 1040 with the wrong EIN, is employer correct advising employees to file amended return to correct this? I don't even see a place on the 1040X to do this, it's designed for changes in income, deductions, etc. << -------------------------------------------------> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting > << messages to this newsgroup are at www.asktax.org > << -------------------------------------------------> |
