Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Where did this interest come from?

This is an important question; it may affect the posting of the information.

 

"When the program asks for the Federal Identification Number (FEIN), leave it blank. " But then this income item was labeled "needs review".

  • I do not get that screen.
  • Enter 99-999999

I think I'm in the correct place but let me know if I'm not: 

If your in TurboTax Online.

  1. Federal taxes
  2. Wages & income
  3. Investments and Savings (1099-B, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-K, Crypto) [Add/Edit]
  4. Your current postings will appear
  5. [+ Add investment] or click an existing posting

Then there are blanks for FEIN, Received from, Box 1, and Box 3. I have seen several members reporting the same issue of having to enter FEIN when doing it manually.

  • For FEIN (not on my screen) enter 99-999999
  • Box 1 - amount of total interest
  • Box 3 - Probably -0-

I don't have a 1099-INT but I still need to report interest. Please advise what to do with TurboTax. 

  • The IRS will accept the information even if you do not have a 1099-INT
