If EIN for employer doesn't match the eFile data base, am I stuck with filing a paper return?

Prepared 1040, efile rejected because EIN for employer didn't match the efile data base.  EIN for employer was verified with the Employer.  No typo's, name is correct.

Unfortunately, I suspect paper filing may be the only option.  I can't think of any work-arounds that wouldn't cause more problems.

Did the issuer recently purchase the business and change EIN number? Can you delete the prior one and then enter the new one?
