I learned from the business owner from whom my wife receives her 1099 NEC that her tax preparer screwed up the NEC. Instead of putting the business name and EIN, the preparer put the woman's name and SSN. Hence, that is what the NEC reflects. The question I now have is: Should I enter the payer's actual EIN and business name rather than what the NEC reflects? I suspect that may remedy the situation. However, I also believe the IRS will be puzzled when the NECs they receive on their end from the actual payer reflect her SSN and name.

Enter any Federal/Local/State tax payments made into the TurboTax program and it will be routed to the correct tax form.  See image below.   Add/Edit/Delete Federal/State/Local Tax Payments: Open your return (if not already open).

Some forms aren't available to be E-filed yet. This could be because the IRS and/or State haven't released the form to be electronically filed. Once they do release it, it might take a few days for TurboTax to integrate it into the system.  If the form says it's Unsupported, it means that it is not supported by TurboTax, and you won't be able to file it electronically. Instead, you will have to print and mail either the form itself or the whole return.    Click on the link below and then on the blue "This Tool" link, and locate your state for when a specific return or Form will be available to be e-filed (if the form isn't supported by TurboTax you will need to file by mail):   When will my individual tax forms be available in TurboTax?
