Hello,
What to do if I received 1099-NEC from my former employer and 1099-B from the Broker for the same transaction?
According to my former employer I should use only the 1090-NEC because the 1099-B that the broker sent me is for information purpose only and that I should not enter it on my tax return.
According to the broker, I need to use the 1099-B on my tax return or the IRS will penalize me.
If I use both forms, the system deducts double.
Please help!
Thank you
In this highly unusual situation, here is a way to enter the information into TurobTax without being double-taxed on the income.
Enter the 1099-B and do not make any adjustments
Enter the 1099-NEC exactly as it is on the form
Now enter anther copy of the 1099-NEC with the amount as a negative number to cancel out the 1099-NEC
Follow there steps:
That will let you input both forms without being double taxed on them.
You probably sold company stock and the ordinary income component of the sale is listed on your W-2 form, and that amount is not reflected on your form 1099-B.
You should enter your 1099-B form in TurboTax, but adjust the gain to reflect the income reported on your W-2 form. You will see an option to adjust the gain on your form 1099-B when you enter the sales proceeds and cost as follows:
Thank you Thomas, but how about the information I got from my former employer on the 1099-NEC? I was not working anymore at the time of the transaction and therefore the transaction is not reflected on the W2.
Thank you
Hi again Thomas. I followed your advise but I need to enter a code in order to continue. I looked at all the codes and I don't see any one that applies to the following statement: "Received a 1099-B and 1099-NEC"
What code should I use that explains the reason for the adjustment?
ps. I was not employed at the time of the sale therefore there is no W2 involved.
Thank you for your help!
