How to enter 1099-INT for a foreign bank without a FEIN?

[PrashantK]

I could not able to pass the FEIN error on the final transmit page

I tried 00-0000000 or 9's or 1's 

I ma using turbo tax desktop version, do I need to delete the 1099-INT and report under 1099-MISC ?

Try this:  

1. Delete the 1099-INT entry entirely using the "trash can" icon or go to your forms mode.  
2. Go to Wages & Income -> Less Common Income.
3. Select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C.
4. Choose Other reportable income (at the bottom).
5. Enter a description like: "Foreign Bank Interest - [Bank Name]" and the USD amount.

This still puts the income on your return correctly, but bypasses the Form 1099-INT data entry screen that's causing the FEIN validation error.
