I have foreign income for which there is no W2 and I'd like to e-file. The diagnostics asks for a fed ID # on the employer which doesn't exist. I must be inputting income

incorrectly although I thought I followed the Lacerte instructions on the 2555 under foreign wages. Can someone assist me please?

What is the diagnostic, it sounds like you need to scroll down to the Electronic Filing section (W-2), check off the box under Foreign Employer Compensation>Compensation not reported on W-2 and then put the country code in the box that says Country code if work not performed while residing in the US.

Yes, thank you. I did do that. I'm glad you asked me about the diagnostic because it was about a MA form not a federal. Just an informational form. Maybe I can get by without it. Thanks!
