1099R FEIN

My 1099R has a FEIN as a whole number and without a dash between 2nd and 3rd digits. Is this why my return was rejected?

What does the IRS rejection say?  Do you have a code number? 

 

Is it code F1099R-502-02?  Federal ID Number on a 1099-R does not match the IRS records.

 

Here are very common reasons that IRS rejects a tax return.

 

An EIN is nine digits.  Just enter the digits and not the dash.
