E-file stopped then - asking for more information. Wants SS numbers of interest paying loan reciepants.  SS numbers are not available. Tried putting NA in and nnn-nn-nnnn. Turbo Tax will not accept. 

Same problem last year and had to mail returns in.

What type of return are you filing:  Personal?  Business?

Wants SS numbers of interest paying loan reciepan [sic].  SS numbers are not available.

You need those to efile.  Or, you can ask those individuals to get free EIN's on the IRS website.

Thanks -- Looks like I mail it again.

The IRS wants their SSN's to verify any deductions that they take for, say, mortgage interest.  The government also wants to make sure these are bona-fide loans (especially if among family members or friends), and not gifts.

A few years ago, I  sold my house and issued a short term mortgage to the buyer.  All I needed was an EIN to keep the IRS happy re both of us.
