Looking on my 1099 R which number is my traacking id and where is it on the !099 R?

[Woodigos]

Has anyone figured out an answer to the original question yet? This is very frustrating. I'm trying to enter my 1099-R figures and Turbo tax insists on a 24 character Tracking ID, but tracking IDs are only on 1099-INTs. Entering the payer's federal ID number does not work. "NA" does not work. A random 24 character string does not work. Typing "ThereIsNoSuchID#onA1099R" does not work. Leaving the box empty does not work. The people who sent me the 1099 say they've never heard of anyone asking for a tracking ID on a 1099-R before. Yet Turbo Tax refuses to let me proceed until I provide this nonexistent number.

I did not realize there are several threads on this mythical tracking ID. It does not exist so there is no answer for how to find it. You can manually type in the 1099-R. Neither the program nor your tax return need a tracking ID, it seems to come into play when trying to import. 

To enter the form manually, click on I'll type it in myself  (instead of selecting a brokerage) and enter the Federal ID and the rest of the information. All simple and straight forward.

You are the only person that knows what Self-Select pin you used to file last year's tax return.  It is not stored anywhere in the TurboTax program or the TurboTax cloud server.  If you are in the same account you used last year, it should transfer over.   You need one of two numbers to successfully e-file your tax return this year, either:

• Last year's AGI or
• Last year's Self-Select pin  (the random five-digit number that you entered as your electronic signature when you e-filed your 2020 tax return)

You only need one of those two numbers to verify your identity and e-file.   When you e-file this year, you will be prompted to enter a Self-Select for this return, tax year 2021.   You can reuse your Self-Select PIN from last year or create a new one to use.   It doesn’t matter which option you choose.    @ROD J COLLINS

Do not be in a rush to get your tax return filed today or even this week.   The IRS will not start processing returns until the end of this month.   And if you transmit your e-file, you won't be able to make any changes until the IRS starts accepting and either accepts it or rejects it.    If they do accept it as you filed it and you need to then make a change, you will have to amend your tax return.   You want to avoid amending if at all possible. 

What is the difference between the five-digit Self-Select PIN I created last year and my Self-Select...
