Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Ok, when you entered the 1099-NEC into TurboTax it asked you how the payer's federal ID number was formatted and gave you two options - "XX-XXXXXXX" or "XXX-XX-XXXX".  If you picked the second option the system thinks that the number you entered should be a social security number and not an EIN.  So you need to go back to the 1099-NEC and change the option that you picked to "XX-XXXXXXX" so that the system can proceed.
