Where is the Payer's Federal ID number located on 1099-R form?

[IreneS · Accepted solution]

On the 1099-R form the Payer's Federal ID number is located in the box just below the Payer's name and address, on the left side of the form.  It's referred to as a TIN (Tax ID Number) on the form.

The TIN number can also be found on some Payers recording statements just under the column headings.

It is on the Form 1099-G that you receive from your state for unemployment compensation.

The payers TIN is on the left hand side just below the Payer's Name and Address.

What if I never received a form? How do I go about it?

[LenaH]

If you did not receive a 1099-R, it is recommended that you contact your payer or download your form from your online account. If you are unable to get your 1099-R, you could enter a substitute Form 1099-R.

The substitute Form 1099-R is entered as follows:

1. Open your return. 
2. Search 1099-R with the magnifying glass tool on top of the page.
3. Click on the Jump to 1099-R link at the top of the results.
4. On the screen Who gave you a 1099-R, indicate in this screen the type of form that you were expecting to receive. 
5. Enter your 1099 information as best as you can.
6. On the Uncommon Situations screen, make sure to select I need to file a substitute 1099-R. 
7. Follow the on-screen instructions.

The Form 1099-G is issued by your state.  You will have to check your state tax authority website for the department required based upon what you are needing to enter on the tax return.

If the 1099-G is for unemployment comp, check your state's unemployment website for it.

I can’t find the employer I’d number but it’s not on my 1099-r

[JulieS]

The employer ID number is sometimes called the Payer's TIN (Tax Identification Number). It is usually located below the payer's name and address.
