Foreign Dividend No EIN

Pocono78 — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 17:07:59 GMT

I've got an investment held in France (Societe Generale) for which they've reported my dividends and French taxes paid. Yet, there is no EIN, nor was it reported on a 1099. I've left the EIN section blank--was flagged as an error. I've also entered 99-9999999--also doesn't work. There was a prior suggestion to merely enter this as miscellaneous taxable income but then there is no way to list the foreign tax that was paid. Please advise.

Try 99-0999999 as this seems to work well this year. Let us know if this works. If not, you may add this as Miscellaneous Income and then claim the Foreign Tax paid as a Foreign Tax Credit. Here is how to enter.

Log into your account
Select Wages and income
Less Common income
Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099>start
Scroll to the bottom of the page to Other Reportable Income
Other taxable income, answer yes
Then give a brief description of the income and the amount listed.

To claim a foreign tax credit, go to;

Go to Income or income and Wages
Deductions and credits
Estimate and other taxes paid
Foreign Tax Credit>start or revisit
