My Federal return was rejected because of EIN on form 1099-R did not match the IRS records. Is the also known as the Employer TIN and how do I fix this?

[JosephF8]

On the 1099-R the EIN should be under Payers TIN 

To Edit this in TurboTax:

• Open (continue) return if you don't already have it open.
• Inside TurboTax, search for 1099-R and select the Jump to link in the search results.
• Answer Yes on the Your 1099-R screen, then select Continue.
• When you land on the Your 1099-R Entries screen select Edit next to the one you need to fix.

Make your changes and go back through the filing process.

All five of my 1099-R forms were rejected, and there is nothing wrong.  Could it be a Turbo Tax  software problem.  This is very strange.

The IRS matches the EIN similar to individuals and dependents.  The EIN must match the employer or payer name exactly as it is in the IRS database.  You should double check your number and name entry (exactly as it appears on the Form 1099-R).  If you typed the right letters and numbers then double check with the payer to see if they entered the correct name that is associated with the IRS database in the Payer box.

We are unaware of any issue related to this reject.
