Contacted TurboTax by phone.
The lady agreed this is a new issue and asked me to file the returns by postal mail.
Looks like we would never be able to e-File again because of this new validation by TurboTax.
Hope TurboTax will fix this, since foreign bank can never have a "Federal ID" number, which are used to identify Banks in USA only.
Also, since if the IRS can accept the returns by postal mail, they should not have issue when we do the same by e-filing. Or simply give a new option where we can add Foreign Bank interest income.
A FEIN is not required on a Form 1099-INT for e-filing a tax return. Ignore the Review and Continue to the File section to e-file.
