Question

Can I include mortgage interest I received from the seller-financed mortgage payments paid by the buyer of my former residence if I don't know his SSN or EIN?

Mortgage interest you received is interest income and you file it as a 1099-INT. No number is needed.

Mortgage interest you paid, requires the SSN or EIN to e-file, otherwise, you mail in your return.
