Has anyone else run into this issue where though no state income was made and no state tax was withheld - therefore no state is listed on the form (box 6) - turbotax requires a state to be listed in box 6 and I am unable to finish filing my return because it's blank.

If there is no state tax withheld in box 5, then leave box 5, box 6 and box 7 empty. Don't enter 0.

Thank you for your response! So I went back in and changed it to leave boxes 5 and 7 blank and it’s still asking me to enter a state in box 6...

DELETE the 1099-NEC form and then enter it again fresh.

What worked for me is leaving boxes 5 and 7 empty instead of manually entering 0's on the form. Doing this let me e-file without needing to fill box 6.

Nothing is working. Mine is blank and it will not file until something is entered. I'm not sure what to enter since it is blank

Would you clarify, is there an error message? What TurboTax product are you using?

I followed the instructions that worked for others and somehow the software uploaded and possibly submitted by 1099 twice. I went back and deleted it. It said I could no longer e-file. So I printed my taxes. (They are printed correctly) I was planning on mailing today, when I got an email that both state and federal were accepted. Now no one can tell me if both 1099’s (one duplicate) were sent, meaning I owe a lot more than I should.

You should have the federal information filled in. All of the state boxes should be:

all blank or
all have entries.

If the form is not needed, delete the form.
