Efile with foreign income

[longhs]

I have a client who has foreign income and no EIN number. How can I make it work so that I can efile his return or does it have to ba a paper return?

I have the same question. My client received a Canadian NR4 reporting interest income from a life insurance policy, no EIN.

I don't put EINs on Schedule B, just the name of the payor.

You know, I assumed it was required because ATX gives me a red warning message when an EIN isn't entered for payers of interest and dividends. Now that I've gone back into the program, I see that red message is caused by using the Payer Manager to be able to use the QuickAdd feature on subsequent returns. That tells me just how tired I really am. Thanks Lion, I think I'm good to go with this.
