I received this error - SH-F1040-520-01 - Schedule H (Form 1040), 'EmployerEIN' and 'EmployerNameControlTxt' must match data in the e-File database - and need to change my employer name on Schedule H but it's a pre-populated field. How do I edit the name of employer?

The Employer Name is pre-filled with the main taxpayer listed on the return. If this is not the name used to apply for and associated with the Employer ID number (EIN), you may need to print and mail Schedule H separately from your tax return.

Note that if you've already paid your employer taxes by Forms 941 and 940, you are not required to complete Schedule H.

I'm having the same issue, and I cannot believe that I have to mail my taxes in simply because TurboTax won't let me edit the employer name field in Schedule H. Really? I'm sitting here wondering why I paid for Premium.

Schedule H is a stand-alone form. You can still file, but you will need to mail Schedule H separately.

I’m assuming that the answer hasn’t changed. You just have to mail your return? I can’t find anything that clearly says that you can mail the schedule h form separately if you’re required to file a tax return also.

Did you end up mailing?

No. If you have filed Forms 941/940 and included your household employee wages there is nothing to report on Schedule H. If not, then you must file Schedule H and use the link provided by @CatinaT1 and placed here for your convenience.
