The following diagnostic is generating: Partner #1: Only valid Social Security Numbers or Employer Identification Numbers can be used on Schedule K-3, Box C. The use of literals "Applied For" and "Foreign US" cannot be used. The partners of this 1065 do not have SSNs or ITINs...is there a way to get rid of this diagnostic? Thank you.

I have foreign partners and got the same message. The only way I found around it was to enter all 9s for the foreign partner id# and then e-file. Then change it back to print as Foreign US for the partner's K-1. I called Lacerte support and they did not have another solution.

What you should do is to have the foreign partner(s) not eligible for SSN apply for an ITIN. Here's an excerpt from the instructions for K-1:

Foreign partners without a U.S. identifying number should be notified by the partnership of the necessity of obtaining a U.S. identifying number. Certain aliens who aren't eligible to obtain SSNs can apply for an ITIN on Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.

@ktmarlow After entering 999-99-9999 for the foreign partner SSN, were you able to e-file without getting rejected? Thanks,
