K-1 to foreign beneficiary

I have a K-1 from an estate that needs to go to a foreign beneficiary.  There is no income, the K-1 just shows deductions that this person would be able to take.  The foreign beneficiary does not have a US TIN.  I do have their ID number from their country.  Where would I enter this number?  It doesn't fit in the SSN/TIN box.  I do have "foreign beneficiary" checked.  

Thanks!

There isn't going to be an input for this. You're going to have to paper file the return.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

 have the same issue - I know I need to file this as a paper return, but do we write in the number or leave that field blank?

 

Thanks,

I have the same issue for a 2021 return.  Do I still have to file manually or is there a work around? Two foreign beneficiaries.
