1099-INT not working

[Margaret CPA in OH]

Crapola! I finally have a bug. On one return I keep getting the same message about the entry I have for one bank's interest. The error (so it says) - Recipient 1: Address is missing one of the following: Street address, City, State or Zip Code. Do you think it's because their address is in Australia (sarcasm here)? The foreign address fields are completed and they had US bank interest. Of course they dont' have a state or zip code in the US. Program bug? Or is it me

Don't put in the address and uncheck 'add to payor manager' and you shouldn't have an issue. I never put in addresses for 1099-Int or Div, and don't have a problem. If you have a federal EIN you don't even have to uncheck the payor manager box.

I may be wrong but it is thr recipient address missing. Be sure to put in FSJ

It is the 'missing' recipient address that the error message means. I do have J but the software wants everything in the address as if they lived in the US. Because the address is Australia, there is no US state or zip code, just Australian state and post code.

Joan, I first thought the problem was with the bank entry info, too, and tried every thing to resolve this. Then I noticed the message said the error was with the recipient missing street address, city, state or zip, not the issuer of the 1099. As noted, the recipient does not have a US state or zip.

It's always somethin'...(Roseanne Roseannadanna)

Ugh, yeah, I have overseas clients. I was so happy when they added the box for foreign country on the 1040.
