That matches the info in Pubs 1345/1346 which Art pointed out
in another response. After his reply, I went and started
reading them in more detail.

I was only passing curious. While a mildly interesting aside,
there are other pubs I need to spend more time reading...

Thanks Rich and Art

and 1099-Rs, since the software I've used (TaxWise) will generate
efiles without EINs for issuers of 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, 1099-B,
and 1099-MISC (and for that matter doesn't even give you a way
to enter the EIN for those payors).

But when I've had some mismatches on W-2s or 1099-Rs because
of typos, those efiles have been rejected with a message about
a mismatch versus the "IRS Master File", so clearly the payor
info on those forms are being sent in.

If you're really curious, there's a pub (1345, I think) that
in very 1960s fashion lists the field-by-field specifications
for efile data.

Pubs 1345/1346 contain the specs for the 1040 e-file and EIN for
dividend payers is not part of those specs.

Is is not the case that that information might still be transmitted
when doing an e-file? My understanding is that sometimes e-filing
will send more details like that for automated matching and without
it, there may be some delays in processing.

It's a useful feature for record-keeping, to match up the worksheets in
the program against your 1099's.

But you're right, it doesn't go onto the tax form, so it's not necessary.

As I said, it's entirely too nosy. Who cares about the EIN of
dividend payer?

You have confused TaxAct by missing the instruction that you make only one
entry for the 1099-DIV (and that has only the broker's name and ID). You
don't list each stock.

I think the program is being entirely too nosy. I'd disregard.

Hi,

TaxAct, in the "Dividend Income" section, asks for Payer's ID for each
stock. I don't have IDs for individual stocks but do for our broker. Do I
use the broker's ID, look up the company's ID, or just leave it blank?

Thanks,
Gary
