It looks like H&R Block used a generic or "dummy" number, which TurboTax does not allow.  Real federal IDs do not start with 00.  

However, you are right that University of British Columbia is a qualifying institution. 

 

I was able to find that their real federal ID is  98-6001255.  Please try this number in TurboTax and let us know if you continue to have any issues.
