jklcpa Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 I have the same question. My client received a Canadian NR4 reporting interest income from a life insurance policy, no EIN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 I don't put EINs on Schedule B, just the name of the payor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
