I received a 1099-DIV from a Nominee Recipient who is an individual (deceased). As a result, the payer does not have an EIN but instead used their SS# as a TIN on the 1099-DIV. Turbotax keep requesting a EIN in order to electronically file my taxes but this is not possible. I attempted a dummy EIN such as 99-9999999 or 00-0000000 to no avail. Hopefully, I will not have to file my return in paper. Any thoughts on how to get Turbotax to accept a 1099-DIV from an individual nominee without an EIN? Thank you in advance.
