Can not enter the Payer's TIN box. The XX-XXXXXXXXX in the box will not let me put the TIN in.

What kind of form?  A W2 or 1099R or 1099G or what? Does it have the number or just the xxx es?

[jackcav56]

Its a 1099-R

The Payer's TIN is nine numbers. Your post has 11. Check your 1099-R. Make sure you are picking up the right number. When entering into TurboTax, just enter the numbers. TurboTax will add the "-".

Be sure you are entering the 1099-R in the right place (not as a W-2).  Go here:

Federal > Wages and Income > Retirement.
