Deductions & credits

Hi @LinaJ2020, mind explaining a bit more why US FEIN is important in this case? I can't find a field for any identification numbers, let alone employer identification number, anywhere in Schedule B or TurboTax forms for 1099-INT, all they ask for is the payer's name.

 

Here's also what I find in Schedule B instructions. Doesn't entering just the interest amount based on the foreign bank's statement fall into a substitute statement category?

 


Report on line 1 all of your taxable interest. Taxable interest generally should be shown on your Forms 1099-INT, Forms 1099-OID, or substitute statements.
