1099-DIV asks for FEIN - this is not on the 1099-DIV I received

We haven't been able to figure out why this is occuring.

BUT

Call a NUVEEN representative and ASL....then its done.

_______________________________

Still want to mess with it.

1) Delete the entire form

2)  Re-enter it manually, Do Not Upload a picture or a PDF file....enter it anew entirely manually.

If the FEIN box still shows up,  Call Nuveen..and ask.

Sometimes you miss it, especially on a "Consolidated 1099-B.  One provider had it buried on their form in their name and address header.

FEIN of 00-000000 does not work, TurboTax says this is not a valid FEIN.  However, on my 1099-DIV, this (00-000000) is what is listed as the FEIN.  In past releases (years) there was a check box that said the FEIN was not provided, and allowed me to complete the form, however in the 2024 version, this has been removed.

desktop, and entered manually.

I entered the Form 1099-DIV as you described. I was asked for an EIN because I had federal withholding in box 4 of 1099-DIV. I  entered the 00-0000000 EIN as you did, and sure enough, got an error. I removed the EIN, and ran the error check again, and I now have no errors. 

When I just ignored the box for the EIN in the interview section, I also got no errors.

you cannot enter an invalid EIN. 00-0000000 is invalid. you can leave the box blank and see what happens when you go to e-file. I have never seen a 1099 issued without the EIN, The EIN would not be needed if there was no withholding. Turbotax does not flag the form if there is withholding but no EIN.
