I am US citizen living outside of the US. I have 1099-INT with my foreign address and Turbo tax is stopping me from e-filing as it doesn't recognize foreign State & ZIP

I have already paid for the services and now the only option is to file manually.

Since this is a glitch in Turbo Tax, I am going to suggest an alternate way to repot your interest so this error doesn't appear.

 

  • Delete the 1099 INT from your return. Go to the interest section where you reported this and delete the 1099 INT from the return.

Now go to:

 

  • Federal
  • Income and Expenses
  • Scroll down to Less Common Income and click Show More
  • Start next to Miscellaneous Income
  • Start next to Other Reportable Income
  • For description refer to this as foreign interest and then the amount.

Since interest income is ordinary income, this reporting method is acceptable.
