Error, Schedule C Line 1F W2 Statutory income cannot be reported

[AmyC]

The w2 is marked statutory, the expenses and additional income go to sch C that relate to that business. The w2 creates the sch C. One idea is to file a correct sch C with income and expenses and return to the w2 and uncheck the box that says statutory. The IRS also received your w2, the sch C is there. This is the easiest solution.

What if your statutory income your 1099 NEC income are all for the same business and have the same expenses.  Can you put them all on one Schedule C with the expenses or do you have to have 2 separate Schedule C's one for W-2 statutory income and one for 1099 NEC income?

[ratulowski]

If two separate Schedule Cs are required do you just put all the expenses on one of them?

If you have both a statutory W-2 and a 1099-NEC for the same business you will post both to the same Schedule C, and only enter the expenses once.

I posted this in the Self-employed Online software and had no problem.

This error reminds me of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", when they were playing monopoly.

The W-2 was imported with Statutory Employee checked.

I selected "yes", as to Expenses needed to be entered for this business.

I did not add or create a 1099 to this Schedule C.

All checks passed and I was on to filing electronically. TT took all my account information, etc.

But then it was wait, let's check the return again. Oops, you've added a 1099 to your Schedule C.

And yet, I had not done so.

The TurboTax program had no other suggestions on how to fix this "error"

Thanks for the link. But it appears you are solving a different problem.

My W-2 has the statutory box correctly checked.

The error I'm having is that the Sched C can't also have a 1099 attached. Mine doesn't, so I don't know what it's complaining about. (Some bug under the covers is my guess).

Here's how I was able to move forward.

Scenario - 4 separate Schedule C's as follows:

1) Income on W-2 Statutory from on Insurance carrier, box checked for statutory. Expenses are logged here.

2) 1099 income from a 2nd carrier. A small amount of income, no expenses.

3) 1099 income from a 3rd carrier. A small amount of income, no expenses.

4) 1099 misc - referral fee. A small amount of income, no expenses.

Only income from 1) could offset the expenses incurred.

All checks passed fine.

Upon electronic filing, entering payment information, etc, the program balked and went to check something, the 1st Schedule C. It complained you can't attach any 1099's to that schedule with Statutory income.

But I hadn't.

FIX: in this order.

1) Decouple the W-2 from the schedule C.

2) Delete the schedule C (keep a printout to re-enter data)

3) Create a new schedule C.

4) Associate W-2.

5) Add expenses.

I think adding expenses before linking the W-2 was the glitch.

Is there a new work around for the current year, my customer has two schedule C one for NEC income and the other for the Statutory income but still receiving same error message.

I just linked the W2 Statutory income to the Sch C. It worked fine for me. See here.

Need to delete the W2 and re-enter it because I did not see that message. Thank you for the share it was much needed. @AbrahamT

I get related error.  It is looking for a value for 1f. Enter income if Stat Box checked but not entered on W-2.  But the stupd thing says two bullets down “income transferred from w2 worksheet.  What do i need to do?
