If you enter the 1099DIV, there is not even a spot for a payer's ID. Here's how to fix this:

  • Federal
  • Income
  • Interest & Dividends
  • Dividends on 1099-Div...update
  • Delete the problem one (see screenshot)
  • On the same page Add a Payer
  • I'll type it myself...enter institution as received from

I downloaded this directly from internet & it entered the FEIN.  I deleted the direct download & manually entered it without the FEIN.  Thank-you!
