I appreciate the answer from rogge also. I also like Pappa John's suggestion for naming the dummy 1099s as well. It would show intent were you ever to audited. I hope.
The issue of what to enter or if to enter the FEIN of the issuer is not addressed. My issuer is Edward Jones for three countries. I entered the Ed Jones FEIN again in the two dummy 1099s.
I also wondered about not entering income with the dummy 1099s.
