I am trying to enter a federal id for a university in the united kingdom. The id was provided by the FASFA school search webpage and starts with the letter G. TurboTax does not allow this format and indicates there is a problem with the format. Here is the information from the FASFA website on Federal ID formats that clearly states there are different formats for the federal ids. TurboTax does not accept the letter in this field.
"A Federal School Code Is always six characters: 0 (zero), G, B, or E followed by a five-digit number. For example, 003223 is the Federal School Code for the University of Oregon."
Either there is a bug in TurboTax and it should allow all of the valid formats or TurboTax should indicate that codes for schools outside of the US are not accepted. I had to leave the field blank to move forward.
