There was no Employer's TIN on the statement from the bank where I cashed the savings bonds, only Item 3 where it showed the amount of interest. TurboTax keeps asking me to review and not sure if I should just ignore this or not. In the old TurboTax there was a special section to report interest from Savings Bonds.

You do not need to enter a FEIN if you type in your U.S. Savings Bond interest yourself.

Type interest in Search in the upper right
Select Jump to interest
