Leaving the EIN blank worked for e-filing. I tried 99-9999999 and 00-0000000 to no avail. The suggestion of reporting foreign bank interest as miscellaneous income seemed wrong so I did not use that option. I don't know how many hours I spent going back and forth trying to make it work so I could e-file. EIN is found nowhere for the actual forms. I almost gave up and was going to paper file and then found someone suggesting leaving it blank was better than entering anything. I truly hope that TT will fix this issue for next year.
