How to move past the issue of Foreign tax paid to Canada causing address entry problem on 1099-DIV Worksheet, in Additional Payer and Recipient Information section?

That is an import error.  You will have to contact your broker for the address information that you need.

It is an import error by TurboTax during the import of the 1099-DIV as a PDF file.

TurboTax is correctly using the TIN# to look up the address information for the Payor.

It is obviously pulling back:

• The Foreign Country.   It appears in Box 8.
• The Street address
• The City

and I strongly suspect it also pulled back:

• The State/Province code (2-alphas)
• The ZIP code (alphanumeric)

The Country code should be populated first (1st), as that value determines the import value checking for the last 2 fields.  Without it, the logic is checking the State value against the list of US states, and the ZIP Code against the all-numeric logic that applies to US ZIP codes.

But it's not in the United States.

So:

• The State code bounces as "ON" (Ontario) is not a US state.
• The ZIP codes bounces as the 6-alphanumeric value breaks the US ZIP code format.

I need this bug fixed, or a way to enter this directly.

Or another option that works. 

The form provides a valid address.  There is no way to enter it directly into the Worksheet as a workaround.

Hi,

Was this issue resolved?

I'm running into the same error, and it's blocking me from filing as there's no way to manually change the address.

Thanks in advance.

To clarify, is this one 1099 DIV that is causing you problems or are there several?
