Form 1099-Misc was used in the past report self-employment income; now Form 1099-NEC is used. If you were paid for your work on a 1099-MISC, you should request the company that paid you to correct this and send you a Form 1099-NEC form instead.
If you didn't have self employment income reported on Form 1099-MISC, then you should review your entries. If after reviewing your entries, you keep getting that error, you can delete the form and re-enter it. To go back to that section:
- Open your return
- Go to 1099-MISC
- Select Edit or Delete next to the 1099-MISC you want to change or delete
- If you’re deleting a 1099-MISC, answer Yes when you’re asked to confirm the deletion.
If you continue having issues, you can try these steps if you are using the online version:
