TIN number on tax form not accepted

[Tstaff112]

Hello!

I am filing my taxes with turbo tax. I have stock in Toyota, and when I received my tax form from Toyota, the TIN was only listed as 0's. Any ideas on how to find the correct TIN? Turbo Tax did not accept the TIN given.

What tax form did you receive from Toyota? Is it a 1099-DIV, or something else?

Is the problem with the Payer's TIN or the Recipient's TIN.

If it's the Payer's TIN, you should be able to enter a 1099-DIV in TurboTax with just the payer's name. You do not have to enter the payer's address or TIN.

It it's the recipient's TIN, you normally would not have to enter that in TurboTax. But if you do, enter your Social Security number. You are the recipient.

I received a 1099-R without the payer's TIN.  I called and they said it was not required...  Turbo Tax flagged in the review so I entered n/a and it worked...

@jimmy5609  Did you e-file the tax return? Was it accepted?

Turbo tax program is asking for a TIN when entering data off a 1099R form. The form only shows the last four digits.

Look for the box with the EIN/FEIN and a format XX-XXXXXXX. 

This is the number you will need to enter in this section of Turbotax.  

Alternately, you can call the provider and ask for or if it's a common company someone here may have it.  While there are some areas of TurboTax where this number is not required, the 1099R does require it.
