My return was rejected because of the suggested EIN of all 9's used for the replacement 1099-R. I am reporting my Canadian pension. How can I correct it?

This works for reporting the income.  However, there is no way to report the taxes paid, so even reporting the net instead of the gross pension results in a significant increase in the taxes due, since it seems to be income that has not yet been taxed.  Reporting it on the SSA-1099 results in the opposite, with all the taxes being refunded, but this is not CPP, QPP or OAS.  The option of filing with the replacement 1099-R resulted in a 'happy medium'.  Pity that is no longer an option!

Revisited this return today, and found a way in which the taxes paid could be reported.   Under Deductions and Credits / Estimates and Other Taxes Paid / Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099, I entered the same description used for the income amount, and reported the tax withheld.  The result was the same as when I had attempted to use the replacement 1099-R which was rejected because of the EIN of all 9's.
