It’s asking for an eid number for my employer on a 1099 form I don’t have a 1099 for my taxes how do I remove this 1099

You remove your 1099 form using these instructions: 

 

Click the "magnifying glass Search" icon on the top row, enter "1099-MISC" in the search window and press return or enter, and then click on the "Jump to 1099-MISC" link to find the 1099-MISC summary screen.  Click the "trash can Delete" icon next to the 1099-MISC you want to delete.  If you don't find your 1099-MISC at this summary screen, use these same instructions to search for "self-employed".

 

Note that sometimes a form will "hang around" in the software even after it is deleted from a summary screen.  If you have issues with the 1099 after you delete it, use the "Delete a form" section to search for and delete the 1099.

 

This link has the following instructions for deleting a form in TurboTax Online:

  1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
  2. In the left menu, select Tax Tools and then Tools.
  3. In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form.
  4. Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet in the list and follow the instructions.

Lastly, note that you still have to report the income, even if you don't have a correct 1099-MISC.  There is a "box" to put your self-employment income that was not reported on a 1099-MISC.
