If you return is rejecting with error code FW2-505-01, Form W-2, Line B Employer EIN was issued after the Tax Year then you will have to mail in a paper return for this year because the IRS can't process it electronically..

But The IRS isnt accepting paper returns because of Covid 19 and the file dateline is 7/15. What options do i have?

Yes. The IRS is accepting paper returns. There are delays in processing. The July 15 deadline means the return must be postmarked by that date. It does not apply to processing.
