I routinely have foreign sellers of real estate and ProSeries now allows us to enter the FIRPTA withholding through the "Form 8288-A Wks". However, whenever the withholding agent (Buyer) is an individual, I receive an error message that the Withholding Agent's FEIN is invalid. It also defaults to an EIN mask. This is clearly a programming error. Does anyone have a work-around for this?

Thanks.
