Apparently the link button not appearing is a problem in the online version of TurboTax. There are two options:
- Delete and reenter the Form 1099-NEC under Business Income and Expenses. The most recent version of online TurboTax appears to create the linkage properly there now. Do not enter the Form 1099-NEC under 1099-MISC and Other Common Income, that doesn't work at all.
- Delete the Form 1099-NEC, answer No when asked if you received any Forms 1099-NEC, then simply enter the income as income or sales not on a Form 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC.
