No Payers TIN# on 1099 Misc

[guy2246]

The 1099 Misc form has no TIN# and issuer is not responding, what do I put down?

[PaulaM]

Can you clarify what the 1099-MISC is for and what box numbers are completed?

[guy2246]

I am retired and did some work for my former employer.  It was being on a Zoom call discussing future work by new engineers. I am a retired engineer with 40 years with my employer. Also, turbotax asked me to fill in a product code for what I did. I could not find out where to find that answer.  The outside firm I received my 1099 Misc form was the who my company hired to facilitate the meetings. Sorry for delay but I could not find the way to answer you back until today.  Thanks in advance. Like I mentioned before this outside firm had no TIN#, no EIN# and no account(24 digit) number.

The income can be reported without actually entering the 1099-MISC. You should delete that and then enter the income as indicated below based on your decision. First delete your Form 1099-MISC using the link below for your TurboTax version. Keep the form in your file.

• If you're using TurboTax Online software and need to delete a form, click here.
• If you're using TurboTax Desktop software and need to delete a form, click here.

If you consider this to be self employment, and may be doing consulting regularly you can report it as such.

• Where do I enter Schedule C?

If this was a one time requested consultation and you do not plan to pursue this regularly for livelihood you can report it as follows.

Other Miscellaneous Income:

1. Sign into your TurboTax Online account
2. Go to Tax Home (left panel)  Wages and Income  section
3. Scroll to  Less Common Income > Select  Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
4. Select Other reportable Income > Enter a description (----) and the amount

DianeW777- thank you so much for your help.  What a good idea. Will do and change to misc. income instead of a 1099 Misc

[guy2246]

DianeW777- do you have any ideas where I can find this "product code" they asked for.  I read if I couldn't find one to just enter 999999.

[DaveF1006]

Enter 99-0999999 and this should work.

[guy2246]

Thank you. Will do

[guy2246]

Where are these codes listed?

[DaveF1006]

Normally they would be listed here.
