A 1099-R does not have an E(employer)IN,  Rather, it has a Peyer's TIN.

Be sure you are entering it as described above, and not as a W-2.

To change the EIN number on your 1099-R, please follow the instructions below:

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click “Take Me To My Return”
  3. Click on the Search box and type “1099R”.
  4. Click on “Jump to 1099R”.

Please be aware that an EIN is for the payer.  You (the payee) have an SSN on the form.
