TurboTax 2021 W2 Bug

When entering the name of my employer on the W2 form, there is a bug in the TurboTax 2021 software.  It does not properly accept the ampersand symbol "&".  The name of my employer is: 

      Goodwin & Goodwin 

 

Turbo tax then displays the name as:

     Goodwin & Goodwin

 

If I type it as "Goodwin and Goodwin" it displays properly, but this is not actually the name of the company and the IRS may reject the filing?

Is there a fix coming for this issue?

    The IRS is not going to reject your return for using the word "and"  ---the IRS cares that you used the right EIN for the employer.
