EIN for payroll different than EIN for C-Corporation

A new client's W3 is under a different EIN than the corporation's EIN. When I asked why the numbers didn't match, he said that the payroll is under an LLC pass through entity. Has anyone ever experienced this? Last year's tax return included the payroll in the 1120 tax return.

    Were the checks actually written by the corporation or the LLC?  Dealing with tax clients is like bringing back old Art Linkletter TV shows --------"Clients say the Darndest Things".

    I assume by the LLC since the W2s are all from the LLC

    Assume is a very dangerous word in the world of tax.
