Facing the same problem again this year.
TurboTax is insisting on entering the FEIN number and there is no work around.
They have created a new option of "1099-OID, Foreign Accounts" . But when I enter the interest income in that section, the taxable income shows as 0.0 as shown in the attached image.
I hope TurboTax will take notice of this recurring issue. When I spoke to specialist on the phone, she had no idea about this and suggested that I don't need to enter it in the "Interest on 1099-INT" section, which would mean, that I am not paying tax for the interest earned in foreign bank.
I hope somebody can help escalate this to concerned department who would be able to fix this recurring issue.
Foreign bank (Indian bank in my case) don't have FEIN number, nor do they issue any 1099-INT
Note: I already tried deleting the entry and entering it manually.(But FEIN number prompt always comes up)
