This year TurboTax is forcing me to give a FEIN for 1099 INT which the foreign banks don't have/provide

This eventually worked.

Note:  I had to delete my foreign tax paid from my US-RIC1099-DIV before this worked.  Then I had to go through and do the "other income" for foreign tax credit, then I had to add my tax paid from my 1099-DIV.  Finally I had to go through the foreign tax credit again to take care of the 1099-DIV credit.

The workaround as mentioned by @MMM0628  on Feb 23, 2020 worked for me, more than a year later :-). Posting it here again in case it is helpful to others. Thanks @MMM0628 

"The fix: Just enter the financial information without the FEIN number. It WILL tell you it needs review a couple times; just enter through it or actually I believe the button says "continue". It will eventually get tired of asking and take you to the end. lol"

Give all 11-[removed]. It worked for me as suggested by customer support.
