You could call them and ask for the EIN or get if off of a previous 1099-R or 5498 form. The name would not matter and only the box 1 and 2a data on lines 15a/b on the 1040 form and explanation statement gets sent to the IRS anyway - the mock 1099-R screen data does not as long as box 4 is blank. The only time all of the screen 1099-R information gets sent to the IRS is when there is federal withholding in box 4.
