You can e-file with the EIN box left blank for foreign bank interest and this is the best way to file. If you are receiving an error, return to the interest entry and be sure there is no amount showing in "Box 4 - Federal income tax withheld". If your foreign bank withheld foreign tax, enter that amount instead in Box 6 for credit for the foreign taxes paid.
