If your 1099-NEC has Box 5 left blank, Box 6 with "AZ" but no state number, and Box 7 with the same amount as Box 1, here's what each box represents and how to handle the situation in TurboTax:
- Box 5: This box shows any state income tax withheld. If it's blank, it means no state tax was withheld
- Box 6: This box is for the state identification number. If it's blank, you can use the Payer's TIN (Tax Identification Number) located under the Payer's name on the form
- Box 7: This box shows the state income, which is the amount of nonemployee compensation subject to state tax. It often matches the amount in Box 1
To proceed in TurboTax:
- Leave Boxes Blank: If no state tax was withheld (Box 5 is blank), leave Boxes 6, and 7 empty
