    My 1099-DIV for a stock has for it's Payer's Federal ID No. 00-0000000.  The program won't accept it, nor will it file my return electronically unless there is a number.  What's the solution?

    The Federal Identification Number (FEIN) is a unique 9-digit number assigned by the IRS to businesses, including financial institutions. You can typically find this number in Box 4 on Form 1099-DIV.

     

    • Publicly traded companies also include their FEIN on their filings with the SEC or EDGAR
