Even when I don't enter anything in box 4, but have a number for box 1, it still makes me pick enter PAYER EIN or PAYER SSN and the 1099-NEC I have doesn't have the full PAYER EIN. It has the Xs and the last 4 digits and Turbo Tax won't accept it. any help?!? spent so many hours and in forums trying to figure this out.
"The 1099-NEC I have doesn't have the full PAYER EIN. It has the Xs and the last 4 digits."
Are you saying that the Payer never provided you their complete tax number? i.e., that they redacted most of it?? They are supposed to provide you their full tax number. The TurboTax box requires a complete tax number. Can you tell what type of tax number it is? Is the Payer an individual using an SSN as opposed to a company EIN and was trying to hide part of their tax number from you?
