As to the Federal ID, UK pensions often do not have the ID number. Please try entering nine 9s. If electronic errors occur due to 1099-R data entry, enter the pension under Miscellaneous income, see below instructions. As long as the IRS has the pension reported and included in total income, it is not problematic.
1. Federal taxes / Wages & Income -Less Common Income ( very last section on the screen)
2. Select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C- Start
3. Select Miscellaneous Income- Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099- Start
