All retired military (and TTX CHAMPS) should note that the initially-issued 1099-R forms to military retirees, has an FEIN/FIN/EIN that is missing the final digit (2). Apparently they will re-issue.

Text of the notice was as follows.

" Retiree 1099-Rs: Incomplete Payer's Federal Identification Number in Mailed Documents

Retiree IRS 1099-Rs mailed in early January contain a Payer's Federal Identification Number (FIN) that is missing the last digit because of a printing error. The correct Payer's FIN is: 34-0727612. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We will mail you a corrected 2020 IRS 1099-R with the correct Payer's Federal Identification Number. You can also download a correct 2020 IRS 1099-R from myPay. It is available now. Please see the Managing Your Retirement - Taxes webpage for more information.

The FIN on the annuitant 1099-Rs is correct. "
