Entering info on K-1, no EIN

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.
    00s and 999s didn’t work

    i tried all 2s and that was accepted by the program. 
    will that get me red flagged by irs?

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