TURBO MANAGEMENT

MOST URGENT

In last ten years, using Turbo, we used to leave the payer  ID section blank for filling interest income earned in a foreign bank because  foreign banks in foreign countries are not under USA.  They do not issue 1099 Int.  But, this year, Turbo gives an error at the time of federal review and it insists that we must enter payer ID (FEIN) in the box. 

I called CA Turbo CA and asked her to fix the error in review.  She failed to do anything about it. I checked with another tax website.  There was no such problems in other websites. So, I am quite certain that a programmer or developer made a small error in programming and it must be corrected ASAP.  

 

I know several people who have interest income in foreign banks.  All of them will face similar problems. I, therefore, urge Turbo management to ask some competent programmer to fix this error.  Please take it MOST URGENT.  Thanks
