I have a UK pension but the Payer does not have a Tax ID number in the US format. How do I enter this?

I have a UK P60 form which is their equivalent of a 1099-R. The Tax payer ID is 846/LEG8 which does not conform to the US format.

Try using all 9's for the Payer ID number (or all zeroes).

If that doesn't work, you can enter your foreign pension as "other income" using these steps:

Click on Federal > Wages & Income [In TT Home & Biz: Personal > Wages and Income > I'll choose what I work on].
Under Less Common Income, click on the box next to Miscellaneous Income.
On the next screen click on the box next to Other reportable income.
