Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I suggest contacting the issuer of the Form 1099R to verify that the 
TIN is accurate.  If that does not help, then delete the form 1099R and re-enter.  Hopefully, one of these will fix the error.

However, here is some additional information.

This rejection can occur if you mistyped or omitted the Payer Name and/or Federal ID Number (FEIN) when you entered your 1099-R.

Other, less common reasons for this rejection:

• Your 1099-R form is incorrect.
• The payer's info in the IRS database is wrong.

Grab your 1099-R form and proceed to the solution steps below.

Note: If the Federal ID Number on your 1099-R is blank because the payer is foreign, you'll need to mail your return because the FEIN is needed for e-filing. If a domestic payer omitted their FEIN, contact them for the nine-digit number if you want to e-file or just file a conventional paper return.

Solution

1. Sign in to your account and open or continue your return.
2. Search for 1099-R in the upper-right corner, then select the Jump to link in the search results.
3. Select Edit next to the 1099-R in question.
4. Proceed to the Enter your 1099-R screen and compare the Payer Name and Federal ID Number on the screen with your 1099-R form.
   • Important: The payer's name and FEIN in TurboTax must exactly match the info on your 1099-R form.
5. Make any corrections, and then select Continue.
   • If necessary, repeat steps 2-5 for any other 1099-R forms on your return.
6. When finished, select File in the left menu.
7. At the Welcome back screen, select Continue. Don't select Fix my return, you've already done that.
8. Follow the instructions to proceed with the filing process.

The FEIN is correct, but my return keeps getting rejected. Why?
