My daughter attends a university in the UK which is on the IRS list of eligible schools. However it does not have an EIN. In form 8863, if I put nothing in there I don't get a tax credit. If I put 00 in there, it gives me the tax credit but says the EIN is invalid. What number do I put in to get the tax credit?
Unfortunately, without a valid EIN, you can not claim the American Opportunity Credit (AOC), but you may be eligible for the Lifetime Learning Credit.

I see that the University has an "OPE ID" which has the same format as a EIN. This is on the spreadsheet "international-schools-in-federal-loan-programs.xlsx" from <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://studentaid.ed.gov/sites/default/files/international-schools-in-federal-loan-programs.xlsx">https://studentaid.ed.gov/sites/default/files/international-schools-in-federal-loan-programs.xlsx</a> Could this be used as the EIN I wonder.
