Turbotax not accepting "Various" or bland in this when I go to file... it did last year. Can I still e-file?
I assume you are trying to file today and need answer right away, so I can't double check when I get home tonight. But I believe I may have entered all zeros.
I'm leaving the CUSIP number blank, and leaving "VARIOUS", but TurboTax will not let me file electronically.
on my details behind my 1099 the CUSIP is listed for each bond. I could use that but that means hand entering each bond's interest and making sure numbers total to what my 1099 has on it. That would be a pain in the back side
I removed "various" from Box 14 and the error went away. Box 14 now blank & no error.
I just had the same problem. Turbotax would not let me e-file unless there was a valid CUSIP in line 14 or it was blank, which means "various." After several minutes of agony I discovered my line 14 contained two blank spaces which the software apparently determined was not a valid CUSIP and thus would not let me efile. Removing the two blank spaces resolved the problem.
