This problem still exists and hasn't been solved by Intuit for years now.
Please let us report and file our retirement foreign pensions properly on the form 1099-R.
Generic payer's tax id numbers don't work anymore, there should be an option to leave this blank if the payer's doesn't have a valid ID. Filing this as "other income" affects our State taxes and income exclusions.
It should be reported on 1099-R forms, period!
