No, I did not get the answer in time to file my return on time. The number did not appear on line 8 of the 1040. But there also was NO Schedule C, which was my goal. Turbotax said my return passed inspection, was correct and that it should be filed. I also got an email later that said the return had been accepted. I suppose that at some future date, someone at the IRS will try to squabble over a $648 1099-misc. I spent many extra hours trying to get the return to do the right thing. There has to be a better more efficient way to answer client's questions.
