I am encountering an issue with exporting from Turbo Tax Home and Business. Schedule E Line A (1099 Filing Question) Always Shows "Yes" where its set to "No" in the app.

Issue: The PDF export for Schedule E, Line A ("Did you make any payments in 2025 that would require you to file Form(s) 1099?") always exports as "Yes" regardless of what is selected in the TurboTax UI. Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to Rental Properties > Schedule E section 2. On the question "Did you pay anyone $600 or more for work related to this property?" select "No" 3. Export/print the return as PDF 4. Schedule E Line A still shows "Yes" checked, Line B shows "No" — making it look like you were required to file 1099s but didn't Testing done: - Changed both answers to "Yes/Yes" → PDF exported correctly (both Yes) - Changed answers back to "No" → PDF reverted to showing "Yes/No" again - Exported multiple times — same result

I am not getting the same issue when I follow the same steps that you've laid out here.  Have you entered payments for contractors that total greater than $600 as some of the expenses in the system?

Thanks for checking. I don’t have any payments over $600 listed.

There may be a  corrupted version of the Schedule E worksheet. Let's get rid of it. 

 

  1. Go to the forms mode in your return 
  2. Find Schedule E (and the Schedule E Worksheet).
  3. Select each one individually and once they appear on the screen, press delete at the bottom.
  4. This will remove your rental income/expense data for that property.
  5. Close your return to save the change.
  6. Now go back into step by step and Re-enter the rental data from scratch. This often clears "sticky" logic errors that persist through multiple export attempts.

One last suggestion. TurboTax sometimes "thinks" you need a 1099 because of how an expense was categorized, even if it's under $600.

 

  • If you enter expenses under a category such as  "Professional Fees," "Legal," or "Contract Labor." TurboTax may "think" you need a 1099 because of how an expense was categorized, even if it's under $600.
  • If this is the case, you may wish to list this as an "other" expense to avoid a possible error.
