What is Prudential's TIN for 1099-R reporting? IRS shows ending in 9830

The TIN for Prudential Insurance Company of America is 22-1211670. This is their primary EIN (Employer Identification Number) which is used on most 1099-R forms they issue. If you have a 1099-R with the last four digits of 9830, you might be dealing with a subsidiary or specific division of Prudential. If that number doesn't work, check your actual 1099-R form carefully - the payer's TIN should be printed on it, usually in Box 9a. Sometimes they use different EINs for different business divisions. If you can't find your original 1099-R, I'd recommend calling Prudential directly at their retirement services number (1-800-778-2255) and asking them to confirm the TIN on your specific 1099-R.

After struggling with the same issue last year (couldn't find Prudential's full TIN and IRS transcripts were useless), I ended up using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) and it completely saved me. I uploaded my partial IRS transcript and it identified the missing TIN information within minutes. What was really cool is that it matched the partial TIN against their database of financial institutions and filled in the blanks. It even flagged that my Prudential distribution was from their retirement solutions division which uses a different TIN than their main one. The site handles all kinds of documents with masked information, not just for TINs but for other tax documents too.

Just wanted to follow up about my experience with taxr.ai - it actually worked! I was skeptical after asking about it, but I was desperate because my tax appointment was the next day. The site identified that my Prudential 1099-R was specifically from their annuity division which uses TIN 22-1339609 (ending in 9609 not 9830). I called Prudential to double-check, and they confirmed it was correct. Apparently the IRS representative had given me incorrect last four digits. The taxr.ai system showed me where to look on my statements to confirm which specific Prudential entity handled my distribution. Saved me from having to file an extension!

If you're still struggling with getting through to Prudential or the IRS for the correct TIN, try using Claimyr (https://claimyr.com). I was on hold with the IRS for HOURS trying to get someone to help with a similar issue. After using Claimyr, I got a callback from an actual IRS agent in about 20 minutes who confirmed the full TIN I needed. They have a demo video that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c - basically they navigate the IRS phone system for you and get you in the callback queue without you having to wait on hold. I was super skeptical at first because waiting on hold with the IRS seems like an unavoidable nightmare, but it really did work.

OK I have to admit I was totally wrong about Claimyr. After posting that skeptical comment, I decided to try it since I was desperate. I had been trying to reach the IRS for THREE DAYS to resolve this exact Prudential TIN issue, and kept getting disconnected after 2+ hours on hold. Used the service yesterday afternoon, and got a call from an IRS agent this morning who confirmed the correct TIN for my Prudential account (it was from their group insurance subsidiary). The agent even explained why there are multiple TINs for Prudential and which one I needed based on the type of distribution I received. Never thought I'd actually get useful help from the IRS!

Another solution: check your previous year's tax return if you reported a distribution from Prudential before. The full TIN should be on your completed Form 1040 or in the tax software you used. I had the same issue and found the TIN by looking at my 2023 return. Also, Prudential has different TINs for different divisions: - Prudential Insurance: 22-1211670 - Prudential Retirement: 06-1050034 - Prudential Annuities: 22-1339609 Hope this helps someone!

Has anyone had their return rejected because of an incorrect Prudential TIN? I'm thinking of just using the main Prudential TIN and filing since the IRS clearly has my 1099-R information on their end already anyway.

I work in tax preparation and see this Prudential TIN issue every year. Here's the most reliable way to get the correct TIN: call Prudential's dedicated tax support line at 1-800-778-2255 and press 3 for "tax document inquiries." They have a separate team just for handling 1099-R questions during tax season. When you call, have your SSN and account number ready. They can immediately tell you which Prudential entity issued your 1099-R and provide the exact TIN. They can also email you a copy of your 1099-R if you've lost access to it. Pro tip: if you're calling during peak hours (March-April), try calling early morning (8-9 AM EST) or late afternoon (4-5 PM EST) to avoid the longest wait times. The tax support team is much faster than their general customer service line.

I had this exact same issue last year! The IRS transcript showing ending digits 9830 had me completely stumped too. After calling around, I discovered that the 9830 ending actually corresponds to Prudential's Group Insurance division (TIN 13-1832830), which handles certain employer-sponsored retirement plans. However, like others mentioned, the best approach is definitely calling Prudential directly. What helped me was having my account statement handy when I called - it made the process much faster since they could immediately identify which division handled my account. One thing to watch out for: if you received multiple distributions from Prudential in the same year (like I did), you might actually have 1099-Rs from different divisions with different TINs. Each one needs to be reported with its specific TIN. The tax software will definitely reject mismatched numbers, so it's worth taking the time to get it right rather than guessing. @Derek Olson - definitely don't try to wing it with an incorrect TIN. The rejection and reprocessing headaches aren't worth it when you're this close to the deadline!

I'm dealing with a similar situation right now and wanted to share what I learned from my tax preparer. If you're still having trouble getting through to Prudential or the IRS, there's actually a form you can file with the IRS called Form 4506-T to request a transcript that shows the complete TIN information. However, this takes 5-10 business days to process, so it might not help if you're up against the deadline. In that case, you can file for an automatic extension using Form 4868, which gives you until October 15th to file your return (though you still need to pay any taxes owed by the original deadline). The key thing I learned is that each type of Prudential account really does use a different TIN, so don't assume they're all the same. My 403(b) rollover had a completely different TIN than my colleague's pension distribution, even though they were both from Prudential. If you end up needing to file an extension, at least you'll have time to get the correct information without the stress of the approaching deadline!
