When you enter a 1099-INT, the only info you need to include is the payer's name (typically the name of your bank) and the amount of interest they paid you (and any other values that are $ amounts if it's not a 1099-INT from a bank). You typically don't need to include federal or state ID numbers.

It must have at least the state ID, it gives me a big red error when I try to move on without that one lol. I think I’m moving to Turbo Tax.

Try a different software, but I would NOT recommend TurboTax. They're a bit of a smarmy company and have been in trouble more than once for leading people to believe they can file their return for free, and then telling them after they've entered all or most of their info that they have to pay to file-- sometimes when they could have declined paying and still filed for free.
