Retirement tax questions

The recipient's taxpayer ID number on the 1099 form will indicate whether the income is 'personal' or held in an IRA.  

 

If it is personal income to be reported on your tax return, your Social Security number will be shown as the recipient ID number.  If it is income held in an IRA, the recipient's ID number will be in the format xx-xxxxxxx and not a Social Security number.
