Hi: I have a us taxpayer filing a 1040. He is employed overseas by an foreign employer that has no U.S. EIN. Tried inputting 99-999999; no luck. .Efiling through Lacerte is rejected with error message FW2-502. Workaround?
Must I file with paper return?

You can't e-file if there is no EIN, but you can file on paper without it.

Why aren't you entering information on Form 2555 or the Foreign Earned Income worksheet? No EIN is required.

Which software are you using? You have under the ProSeries section and have it tagged as ProSeries, but then you said e-filing through Lacerte.
