Client works on a small farm and received a W2 with the Household Employee box checked. Efile was rejected due to non-matching employer EIN numbers. Turns out it's his Social Security number, not a FEIN. Is there any way to get this to efile or will she need to file on paper? (I don't see a household employee box to check in Lacerte).

Even household employers need an EIN, and it's stupid for them not to have one. Explain the problem to the employer and ask that they correct the mistake.

Yes. Have contacted their CPA and she will amend employment tax records with new EIN.
