1099-DIV asks for FEIN - this is not on the 1099-DIV I received

I am attempting to input information for two 1099-DIVs that I received. The 1099-DIV looks exactly the same ask the past 4 years from this institution (went back to check). When I get to the page in TurboTax, the only option I have is to insert the FEIN and hasn't been in previous years either.

I opened last year's return and TurboTax 2023 has a checkbox to say the FEIN was not included. This option is not available in 2024.

How do I insert these 1099-DIVs without the FEIN?

Can you clarify the TurboTax program you are using (Online or Desktop) and how you entered the 1099-DIV (Typed or uploaded)

I tested and was not asked for a EIN or FEIN.

I am using TurboTax Deluxe - the Desktop version. I am typing in the information.

Steps to get to what I'm seeing:

1. Federal Taxes -> Wages and Income -> I'll Choose

2. Interest and Dividends -> Dividends on 1099-DIV -> Update

3. Scroll down to "Add investments" and click

4. Skip import

5. Click the Dividends / 1099-DIV -> Continue

You may need to update your program by using the Online menu option and then Check for Updates. I followed the steps you detailed and I don't see a request for an ID number:

Also, you may need to clear the cache on your computer. This will very depending on what internet browser you use. You can google how to do that for your browser.
