We discovered a plan that filed their 2007 and 2008 return under the incorrect EIN. There were 2 numbers transposed in the EIN. Do you have any suggestions on the best way to correct the filings? I searched the board, but did not find anything that really addressed this issue. Thanks!

Our 5500 preparer's manual states that you should file an amended report for 2007 and 2008 with the wrong EIN on line 2b and then complete line 4 with the correct information. When preparing the 2009 form, show the correct EIN on line 2b and also show the correct EIN on line 4.
