Folks are missing the question. When you try to import a 1099r from certain entities such as TIAA, the screen asks you to enter the "Tracking ID-Tax Info Stmt bottom pg1 (24 char)".
My 1099R's from TIAA do not have a 24 character tracking number.
The recommendations to "enter it manually" when you have a dozen 1099s to enter is not really that helpful.
Googling suggests many companies do not (yet?) use a tracking ID, even if they are supposed Turbotax partners. So this is quite frustrating (sort of like living in a country that can't quite get enough coronavirus testing kits!).
