Foreign entity has no ITIN

[user17692770492]

Looking input a foreign pension in the desktop version, creating a 1099-R but Turbo 2025 desktop, whilst recognizing a foreign address, keeps requiring a ITIN which the foreign entity does not have.  Tried 55-5555555, 11-1111111 and 99-9999999.  How do I get around this ?

The best way is to report as "Other Reportable Income", because you will not be able to efile without a valid EIN.
 

To enter in TurboTax: 

1. Go to Wages & Income.
2. Scroll to the very bottom to Less Common Income.
3. Select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C -> Start.
4. Select Other Reportable Income -> Start.
5. Answer Yes to "Any Other Taxable Income?"
6. Click on the blue "Add" box to enter the description & amount. "

Note: In some states (like NY or PA), reporting it as "Other Income" may prevent TurboTax from applying state-level pension exclusions.
