Hi there,

 

I just received my W2 in the mail. I am wondering if there is a mistake. My employer's EIN and state ID are the same number. This information is also the same on their online payroll system. 

 

Does this ever happen?

 

If this is of any help, this is a Michigan employer.

 

Thank you

Yes, this happens and is not cause for concern. You can enter the EIN and continue on with your return. The state ID just needs to fit the required format for e-filing (Michigan is 9 digits like the EIN).
