Deductions & credits
I entered the Form 1099-DIV as you described. I was asked for an EIN because I had federal withholding in box 4 of 1099-DIV. I entered the 00-0000000 EIN as you did, and sure enough, got an error. I removed the EIN, and ran the error check again, and I now have no errors.
When I just ignored the box for the EIN in the interview section, I also got no errors.
