State Tax filing

2 replies

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

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

If this is the first time entering investments

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