Entering info on K-1, no EIN

jgmarcus — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 15:12:09 GMT

I'm an individual employed by a US company. My employer was purchased by a UK company (Foreign Entity) and as a limited domestic partner I received some $$ that I need to report. The UK company doesn't have an EIN and issued a substitute Form 1065 for the K-1. This is not a filed partnership K-1. I have all the $$ information BUT Turbotax won't let me proceed without entering an EIN. I tried all zeros and that didn't work. I do have the EIN for my (US) company.

What do I do to complete in Turbotax?

Try using either 99-0999999 or all "nines". Many of our users have found this successful.

No, it shouldn't. Since it was accepted by the IRS, it passed the validation check.
