Question

What is the "Payer's address" for the IRS? I received a 1099-INT (interest income from the IRS) which doesn't include this info.

On the "Federal Review" section, "Your to-do list", I have an entry for "Answers to review. When I click Review, it says to "Check this Entry" for "Schedule B -- Form 1099-INT (Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service): Payer Street Address must be entered". The letter I received from the IRS shows the calendar year, recipient's identification number, total interest paid or credited, and payer's federal identification number (38-1798424). But there's no payer address. So what should I enter to be able to continue? The purpose of it: "Statement showing interest income from the Internal Revenue Service)."

Never heard of needing that. All you really need is a name and amount in box 1. You don't even need the EIN. I enter several interest without a 1099. Did you enter it as a 1099 Int and put the amount in box 1? I would try deleting it and enter it again. I don't think it even asks for an address on the entry screen.

Did you enter a city and state? I would just leave all those boxes blank. It wants a street address because you entered a city.

I do not try deleting it. I had found another post, after posting mine, where others were saying to simply enter any other IRS center's address. So I searched to find an address for the IRS office at that zip code 39901. Google map put a drop pin right at an IRS office at Beverly Hills Dr & Buford Hwy, you'll see an "Internal Revenue Service (IRS)". It's as though that building is its own zip code. Clicking on it showed the address: 4800 Buford Hwy NE, Chamblee, GA 39901. I entered that and TurboTax was happy.
