I do not think we're getting accurate information and updates to Federal and State affecting the form.
- Foreign Exchange students that have filed 2018 and prior were fine till 2019.
- You can no longer submit your taxes electronically unless you enter a correct EIN for the school.
- Foreign school, many do not have EIN numbers compared to US Based.
Families supporting kids that go to a International Accredited school throughout the world are left with short end of the stick.
Trying to enter any of the following 99-999999 or 00-000000 will not yield any positive results.
Leaving it blank and entering a foreign address with blank EIN will still yield or flag it for corrections.
This can be a difference of paying back quite a bit of taxes, or receiving a small amount. I think we need Intuit/TurboTax to be more clear and fix the bug. If there is proof needed I'm sure the families are able to provide. Many are stuck and unsure how to proceed.
