Annieland: Many thanks for your response, but I don't believe that the device on which TTX is used has anything to do with this issue. In fact, if a user on a phone does not employ the 1099-x import function, it's actually easier to enter 1099-x data using the "old" method because almost everything needed for the 1099 is already there.
Also, I never said (nor did I imply), that I cannot enter my 1099-x data for 2024. What I said was that I must create a new entry for 1099-x sources from whom I've received 1099s in the past.
Let's look at it another way. Under the "old" process, the first time the user entered a 1099-x for the ABC Company, TTX effectively created a database record. Each year the user added info from the ABC Company's 1099-x to this record as a new "year" field. This method provided a historical record, was easy to maintain and was very efficient.
The "new" method effectively requires the TTX user to create a new record for the ABC Company every year. After this new record is created, the user fills in the fields. By doing so, the historical info within a record is lost and, over time, the TTX user ends up with dozens of 1099-x records for the same company instead of one record with multiple year fields. This makes no sense.
It's also important to note that this new 1099-x data entry methodology only applies only to data which can be imported. All other TTX entries carried over from the previous year expect the user to enter data exactly as they did before (i.e., the 2023 info is displayed in one column and the 2024 info is added by the TTX user in the next column). So the functionality is still there, but it's been disabled for data that can be imported.
If TTX refuses to allow 1099-x data to be entered manually in the desktop version as it was prior to the 2024 tax year, then it's my opinion that TTX is sending a clear message that they've decided to abandon the user base that made them successful. What a shame!
