How do I report interest income without a 1099-INT? TurboTax keeps requiring me to enter an FEIN, even though I did not receive a 1099-INT.

I did not hit the $10 minimum required for an institution to send a 1099-INT. All answers say to report it as if I did receive a 1099-INT. However, TurboTax will not let me leave the FEIN blank when I report this income.

You can call customer service at the institution and ask for their FEIN.  If you received any statements from the institution during 2019 it will have the FEIN on it, also a copy of a past year 1099-DIV from the same institution will have the FEIN.

You still enter it in the 1099-INT interview.   If a screen with logos is asking you if you want to import it, leave that bank/institution line blank and at the bottom right, choose "I'll type it in myself."   On a subsequent screen you can name the bank and amount.
