Question

How do I get rid of a 1099 NEC TurboTax carried over from last year? It's not needed but it only shows under review and won't let me get rid of it??

I had a direct sales job briefly at the beginning of 2019, not at all in 2020.

Naturally I didn't put anything for this job in this year's taxes and didn't see it listed anywhere either.

Then I click review thinking I'm done and it errors asking for information for this job I no longer have. Insists I must fill out a 1099 NEC and has no option to delete or remove the form.

Help!?!

I will suggest you to remove the form from the program. Here are the steps:

In TurboTax online version:

1. Sign into your account, select Pick up where you left off

2. Select Tax Tools, click on the drop down arrow

3. Select Tools

4. Under Other helpful links, choose Delete a form

5. Select Delete next to Form 1099-NEC and Continue with My Return

One of the most common reasons you’d receive Form 1099-NEC (Form 1099-MISC in prior years) is if you're self-employed or did work as an independent contractor during the previous year. The IRS refers to this as “non employee compensation.”

Level 2

Does a 1099 have to be entered the following year if I no longer did sales direct job.

Level 10

No, it does not have to be entered the following year if you don't have a 1099-NEC. Delete the form that is not needed:

Open your return
Go to Tax Tools >> Tools to open the Tools Center
Click on Delete a form
Scroll down the list of forms
Click on Delete next to the 1099-NEC form that is not needed.
