I have interest income received from foreign bank with some Foreign tax paid without having any 1099-INT. However when I try to enter that manually using 1099-INT, FEIN number is mandatory. It does not accept all 0 or all 1 or all 9 as FEIN number. Can not leave it blank or type N/A as suggested by Turotax AI. How to handle this?

In TurboTax Premium Online, I am able to enter foreign bank interest income and foreign tax paid and calculate a foreign tax credit.

The entry of the foreign bank interest does not require entry of an identification number.
