A substitute 1099-R also requires a valid employer ID number. Without a valid ID it would generate an error and would prevent e-filing. I've tried that, not a solution to the problem.
FYI, I'm not filing 1099-R, that form supposed to be filed by a payer not receiver.
Foreign governments don't have the US federal payer's ID numbers.
I'm surprised that Intuit can't fix that problem.
Next year I'm definitely checking other tax preparing options.
