You can report it under "Other Income" so that you will be able to e-file. Here are the steps:
In TurboTax online,
Technically, you would enter a Form 1099 for interest, dividends to create a Schedule B. However, with a foreign entity, you would not have a US FEIN to qualify for the e-file.

If you receive an interest in a foreign bank account, it is taxable to you. If you pay taxes to both foreign and US government on this income, you may qualify for a foreign tax credit. To claim, you will need to file a Form 1116 if the foreign tax amount you paid is more than $300. If it is less than $300, you do not need to file Form 1116.
