Wrong EIN filed

[Guest rachd]

We had some confusion as to the correct EIN for a company. We found out now that the 5500 was filed under the wrong EIN (for both 2001 and 2002). I am planning on amending the 2002 return but have never had to amend a 5500 before.

Do I amend the entire return since the EIN is listed on each Schedule? The actual numbers and information will not change.

Also, do I go back and amend the 2001 plan year as well since the incorrect EIN is used there? That was the first year it was filed and I'm thinking it would be nice to have it right from the start.

I appreciate your help- I am new at doing these and trying to find definitive answers in the instructions or even preparer's guides is difficult!

Thanks,

Rachel
