I'm a self-employed artist, and Turbotax directs me to fill out a 1099-NEC form. I don't have any clients who have paid over $600, so I haven't received any 1099s, and don't have an EIN, SSN, or any of the specific information it asks for from any of my clients. I contacted an agent, and they told me to put in my own SSN, but it wasn't the right format and wasn't accepted. I get the feeling I'm doing something totally wrong, but I'm not sure what.
I'm very new to filing while self-employed, so if there's anything technical, please explain it like I'm 5.
