To Recap: I've found that the "Lending I.D. No." is the same as "Recipient's Federal ID Number 31-1197926
In filling out my tax form on Tax Act: today - I could not find the Lender I.D. Number for Fifth Third Mortgage Company - [the lending institution for my home mortgage.] Searching through my mortgage papers I came to this Lending I.D. Number.

I performed this search to prepare my taxes in 2013. This number has worked for me each year since: it is currently 2015! Please make sure you have the correct number for your tax purposes. Sincerely, ~~~Nancy Koncilja Gurish, Editor
