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.

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

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