There is no TIN Box on my 1099-R form. Can I use Payers Federal Identification Number which is provided?

Yes, generally those would be the same thing.  

 

Be sure you are in the correct section of your return to enter information from Form 1099-R.  The input screens in TurboTax should be asking about a Federal EIN (or Identification Number) instead of a TIN.
