If they hire a subcontractor to do work in your home, they need to issue a 1099-NEC to them.
You are a not a business and therefore not required to issue Form 1099-NEC to contractors you hire.
I would suggest you keep a copy of their receipt and your payment (such as a canceled check) for your files, but you don't issue 1099-NEC.
They are responsible for reporting their income to the IRS.

Man, I already filed mine sometime during the last week of January bc my last W2 came in earlier than expected and that's all I needed. I filed already, saw SC is still not conforming, so I'm just still waiting for the return. I think it's only been 3 weeks since then so I'm wondering how much longer it's gonna be.

If you have a 1099S for the sale of a house you will need online Premium.
SALE OF HOUSE
If your gain was more than $250,000 filing Single, or more than $500,000 filing Married Filing Jointly the sale must be reported on your tax return. Whether you re-invested the gain in to another house is irrelevant. If you have a Form 1099-S go to Federal>Wages and Income>Less Common Income>Sale of Home (gain or loss)
If you owned and lived in the home as your primary residence for at least 2 of the last 5 years on the date of the sale, you do not have to report the home sale if the gain is less than $250K filing Single, or less than $500K filing Married Filing Jointly (and you both owned and lived in the home for at least 2 years).
If you are using online TT, you need Premium software to report the 1099-S
TO ENTER THE SALE OF YOUR PRIMARY HOME
Start with Federal
Click on Wages and Income
Select Choose what I work on
Scroll down to Less Common Income
On Sale of Home (gain or loss),
Click the start or update button
NOTE: If you have ever used the home as rental property or claimed a home office, you have more information to enter

If you received a "Success" message but your data hasn't appeared in TurboTax, it is likely due to recent browser security updates regarding Local Network Access.
To fix this you need to allow TurboTax to securely retrieve your data through your browser settings:
Locate the View Site Information icon (the "tune" or "lock" icon) on the far left of your address bar, just before the URL.
Find Local Network Access in the dropdown menu.
Toggle the switch to ON.
Refresh the page and attempt your import again.
If permissions aren't the issue, one of the following factors may be at play:
Brokerage Delays: While most forms arrive by January 31, many brokerages delay Consolidated 1099s (like the 1099-B) until mid-February due to complex reporting requirements.
Availability: Your brokerage must specifically "release" the import file to TurboTax. If it isn’t ready, we recommend checking back.
Connection Blocks: Active VPNs or aggressive Anti-Virus software can occasionally block the import feature between your bank and TurboTax. Try disabling them temporarily or switching to a different browser.

The “senior deduction” is added automatically by the software based on the date of birth and filing status you entered into MY INFO. You do not need to take any extra steps to enter it. (And…the new senior deduction has nothing to do with whether you are getting Social Security)
The deduction is not on the same line as your standard deduction. It is shown separately.on line 13b.
2025 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS
SINGLE $15,750 (65 or older/legally blind + $2000)
MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY $15,750 (65 or older/legally blind +1600)
MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $31,500 (65 or older/legally blind + $1600)
HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD $23,625 (65 or older/legally blind + $2000)
For 2025 through 2028 there is an extra deduction amount of up to $6000 per individual 65 or older filing Single, MFJ, or HOH which is phased out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income over $75,000 for single filers and $150,000 for joint filers.
(The deduction phases out completely at $175.000 Single or HOH, or $250,000 joint)
The $6,000 senior deduction will be calculated on 1040 Schedule 1-A page 2 Part V Enhanced Deduction for Seniors which goes to 1040 line 13b. It is separate and in addition to the Standard Deduction or your Itemized Deductions on 1040 line 12e. Turbo Tax automatically includes it.

If you are not getting the senior deduction it is because
Your date of birth in MY INFO shows that you were not 65 by the end of 2025
Your income is too high
You are filing married filing separately

Check the SC Where's My Refund or call the state at 844-898-8542, if you feel there is a problem. Your TurboTax account should show accepted by SC before doing anything.

I have access now. It's not about TT taking the blame, it's about communicating the situation. A simple explanation that the IRS hasn't finalized the form until about a week ago with a clear deadline of when it'll be in TT is the proper way to communicate to customers.

A 2024 Toyota Prius bought new in 2025 is considered an energy-efficient vehicle, but it does not qualify for the federal New Clean Vehicle Tax Credit (up to $7,500). The credit only applies to plug-in hybrid or electric vehicles (EVs) with a minimum 7 kWh battery, while standard Priuses are self-charging hybrids
