Your client is in a foreign country and will not obtain a federal EIN, but issued you a Form 1099-MISC? They certainly could not have filed Copy A with the IRS without an EIN.
My best advice, in order to get your tax return filed with accurate income and in a timely fashion, would be to disregard the Form 1099-MISC, delete any entry that you have already made in TurboTax for that form, and enter the income into your tax return as General Income (the same way you would enter a cash sale). Keep the 1099-MISC with your records for the tax year, should a need to document the income ever arise.
