Wrong Tax FEIN Used

I have a doozy of a question! I don't do a ton of returns so here's the question.  Client used wrong tax id for a rental LLC starting in 1999 (first return) through 2008 on a 1065 filing.  Beginning in 2009 forward (with me) filed single member LLC on Schedule E that doesn't ask for EIN.  Client discovered the issue setting up online banking.  She kept getting error duplicate FEIN, so I asked her to look for her IRS letter. She transposed numbers from the letter.  Bank Account has wrong EIN.  No loans. No 1099s etc.

What would be the plan of action?  Thanks in advance.  This is new ground for me.

I wouldn't worry about the old 1065's just give her bank the correct number.

I hope this is correct.  I didn't know if I had any obligation to disclose it to the IRS.  The LLC never made money.
