This is probably the EIN used for all military retirement pay 1099-R forms.
I have a 1099-R from the same agency; the Q is a misprint, it should be a 0.
So typical of the government. I have a 2020 1099-R from one of my clients and the EIN is wrong again this year. Looks like they corrected the problem last year but this year they left off the 2 on the end. Yes, the number printed this year is 34-072761 (only 8 digits). I'm assuming the correct number is 34-0727612??
Ok, they have corrected it already....client gave me a Corrected 1099R with the correct number 34-0727612.
Another misprint is out there where they drop the 2 at the end. Turbotax will add a 0 for you since there are not enough characters and your ein will be wrong and get rejected. Hope this helps someone else, took a bit to figure it out. Semper Fortis!
I figured it out by random chance. Thanks your response was correct. Ken
i'm having the same issues... Turbotax requires a W2.... the navy / VA only hands out 1099s... so i plug in the info off that and it works fine. THIS year the EIN/payers identification number.. i've been using won't work or be accepted after i file.
really irritating.
