Question

How can I override the Payer's TIN when I am entering income from a foreign country and the number does not fit into this format?

It depends. Are you trying to enter foreign earned income and create a duplicate W2?  If you are, stop. Instead enter it by:

  • Click on Federal 
  • Click on Wages and Income  
  • Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
  • Scroll down to Less Common Income
  • On Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion, click on the start or update button
