I received foreign dividends & did not receive 1099-div. I do not have US TIN for these foreign dividends. I cannot efile my return. What should I do to fix this & efile?

Thanks. I did this, but it still says I need to disclose the TIN. This issue is resulting in me not being able to efile my return.

NO ... an EIN is not required ... look again.

Just enter any name for the "bank" and then enter the dividend amounts.

You need to contact the company you invest with to get the proper tax forms.

Unfortunately they don't have US TINs. Some of the companies are PFICs. Others are not. What can I do to efile my return?

To enter dividends you do NOT need a TIN ... Just click on "enter it myself" ...
