On the 1099R form it has Payer's TIN.  I have used that as the Federal ID number and it was rejected.  What should  Used?


The Payer's TIN is the Federal EIN.  It is 9 digits and in the format of 12-3456789.  You only enter the 9 digits and the program will supply the 'dash'.  If what you entered is correct and it is being rejected, the delete the Form 1099-R and re-enter manually.
