Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Sorry, AmyC -- but when I enter 99-999900 on the Payer's information, Federal Identification Number, the Desktop software responds with "Invalid EIN".  (was 8 digits, not the required 9).

 

I tried it again but filled in 99-9999900 (assumed the trailing Zero's are important) and the page was accepted.

 

It still seems odd to enter a bogus FEIN.  Won't that get flagged by the IRS, or does the TurboTax software handle this?
