State Tax filing

[FeaginsJE]

Attempted to efile my state taxes, but received a message that I must enter a valid TIN for a payer. The payer is "Wal Mart de Mexico S.A.B. de C.V."  with a TIN listed as 00-0000000 on the DIV form.  How do I get passed this error?

I suggest you delete that 1099-DIV and re-post it manually.  You do not need a TIN if you manually post it

On the menu in the sidebar on the left.

Select Tax Tools

• You may have to minimize both the Federal and State options by clicking the Down Arrows on the Sidebar.
• You will then clearly see Tax Tools
• Click the arrow to up to see additional options

1. On the drop-down select Tools
2. On the Pop-Up menu select Delete a Form
3. This will give you all of the forms in your return
4. Scroll down to the form you want to delete
5. Select the 1099-DIV
6. Click on Delete.

If this is the first time entering investments

1. Select Wages & Income
2. Scroll to Investments and Savings1099-B, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, Crypto Gain/Loss Report
3. Did you have investment income in 2024? [Yes]
4. A list of Financial Institutions will come up
5. Enter a different way
6. Five boxes will come up
7. Select the Dividend Box - Continue
8. How would you like to upload your 1099-XXX?
9. Scroll down. Select [Type it myself]
10. post your 1099-DIV
