I'm trying to use the federal ID listed above to claim the Lifetime Learning Credit as I'm a US citizen working on my Master's degree at the University of Galway. However, even after adding a leading zero to the number so it fits the expected format, TurboTax's software is telling me that the number isn't valid and it's blocking me from submitting my tax return.
Can anyone advise? University of Galway is an eligible institution abroad so I wouldn't want to miss out on a significant tax credit that I'm eligible for just because of a software issue.
