Smart Check classifies a valid Payer ID number as invalid

I am entering the valid payer ID for The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation exactly as it appears on the 1099-DIV but TurboTax says 13-2614959 is invalid.

 

I haven't yet e-filed. How do I override TurboTax?

You can call the issuer of the form and verify their payer id.
