Where do I find the federal id number on 1099 R ?

[Jemontel72]

When I electronly filed my taxes the irs rejected them they said the federal id number I entered didn't match there records. It's the same number I used Last year. Why

The Federal ID Number (FEIN) is also called the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN).  On the 1099-R, it would be the Payer's TIN.

Thanks, great answer.

My 1099 from Fidelity Investments does not have a box for the Federal ID Number. Instead it has a box for PAYER'S TIN.
