For the 1099-R I am filing, it’s asking for the Payers TIN (xx-xxxxxxx) and all that is available is the Payer’s Federal Identification Number (xxxxxxxxx). What do I do?

If I put the Federal Identification No. it’ll automatically add the “-“ in the number sequence. There is no TIN available

The Payer's Federal Identification Number IS the payer's TIN. The hyphen is okay. Just enter the 9-digit Payer's Federal Identification Number.
