Retirement tax questions

If your Form 1099-R does not have the required document number, try looking at the cover page sent with the Form 1099-R, not the form itself. You can also try viewing your Form 1099-R  in your financial account as it may be displayed differently.  If that does not work, you can call your financial institution to get the number if it is not provided.

You can also enter your Form 1099-R manually if you do not have the document number.
