IRS official position would be for you to issue the 1099-MISC -- with copy to the IRS. It has no effect on your return or filing thereof. However, if the worker employed by you did provide you with his/her SSN and you are providing 1099-MISC late, his/her return may have to be amended ( depending on whether he/she declared that income or not). This may or may not make the worker happy
On the other hand , if you tell TurboTax that either (a) I was not required to issue 1099-misc or (b) I have issued the 1009-misc -- perhaps it would be too far a stretch of the actual situation.
Neither is an easy choice
