Single or Multi-Member LLC with spouse?

Mine & my husband's LLC was created as a multi-member llc. Our business advisor helped us obtain our EIN and explained that since we are married and in TX, we could be classified as a single member llc with the IRS.

Now, I am trying to open a business checking account, and the bank is saying we cannot proceed because our state filing/operating agreement show us as multi-member while our EIN shows single member.

From what I'm reading online, it looks like the easiest thing to do is to obtain a new EIN as a multi member. Will this affect how we file our taxes? We've always filed jointly. Any advice on this is appreciated!
