The box on Form 1099R that is labeled TIN is the payers Federal ID Number.
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.
I did enter the 1099-R manually and still got the rejection. So now what am I supposed to enter?

If you entered the payers EIN on the 1099-R and it rejects as an invalid EIN then contact the payer to see of they entered the wrong number.
I thank you very much for the help; however, they only had their name and address in that box. I did get the info from google.
