This is a shortcoming for filing a substitute 1099R without a valid EIN. I always recommend filing this as other income instead. if you haven't mailed yet, file in this manner.
- Federal
- Income and Expenses
- Scroll down to Less Common Income and click Show More
- Start next to Miscellaneous Income
- Start next to Other Reportable Income
- For description mention pension income from foreign source and then the amount.
This reporting method will allow you to file electronically.
