I am at a loss to understand why TurboTax is mis-behaving. Especially I cannot duplicate this on my copy of H&B.
May I suggest :
(a) Update your copy to the latest -- see if that solves the issue If that no work then --
(b) use a dummy EIN -- such 12-34567 or 00-1234567 --- see if this passes the test. These are obvious dummy EINs.
I wonder if all it is trying to do is warn you of a missing entry but not necessarily a fatal error -- i.e. it will warn to check but will still allow an e-file with nil EIN.
Another thought would be to look to see if you can enter an interest income "without 1099-INT " i.e. for people that receive interest income from another person -- no EIN.
Please would you consider keeping me abreast of how it works out -- I am most interested. You have been very patient with this fault.
My very humble apologies in the name of the product.
