Turbotax forcing me to add FEIN for 1099 INT, foreign bank.

What dummy FEIN should I use? I have been using turbotax for 13 years and could by pass by not adding the FEIN to report interest earned on an Indian Bank in India. This year it is not allowing me to file electronically. I get message "Our records indicate that you are not entitled to e-file one or more formsets" when I put in a dummy FEIN. or How do you recommend I report interest earned on a Foreign Bank electronically?

In this instance if it is asking for FEIN, try 99-0999999. This should move you past this error. Let us know if this works.
