REIT dividends that are reported in Box 5 of the 1099-DIV do qualify for the Section 199-A deduction. You don't need to fill out a 1099-MISC in the system, but rather a 1099-DIV (which will show the REITs in Box 5). If the system is asking for the EIN, look on page 1 of your consolidated form, likely at the very top (and quite likely in small print). Most brokerages do have that information on the form.
