Thank you for your reply! I reached out to a CPA friend and asked about entering 1009's individually vs. just including the total amount for all 1099's. Here is what he said:
"For electronic filing purposes, the IRS wants you to enter each 1099 so they can match them up, but, generally, as long as the gross income is more than the total 1099’s they have on file, you’re o.k. So, it’s possible that you might get a letter if they think you missed a 1099, but it can be cleared up with a simple call or letter explaining that it was included. I’ve never seen a problem with 1099-NEC’s as long as the total is greater than or equal to the 1099s."
So either way sounds like you will be OK but since I file electronically through TurboTax I might avoid the hassle of having to explain to the IRS if I do go ahead and enter them individually.
