Question
Efiling Form 5471 with NO EIN
The client does not have EIN for their foreign entity which needs to file Form 5471.
Under Critical Diagnostics, it says, The "Employer ID number" of the Foreign Corporation is either missing or invalid. Acceptable entries are "Applied For", "Foreign US" or a valid 9 digit number.
However, there is no way to input "Foreign US" in that box. Is there some way around this? Or maybe does Lacerte allow you to e-file without an EIN?
Thank you in advance.
