Or enter 1099-nec in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen.  Click on Jump to 1099-nec.

 

  1. If you see a list of 1099-NEC entries, click the Delete (trashcan icon) beside the one you need to delete. Then add a new 1099-NEC.
  2. On the screen Did you get a 1099-NEC?, click on Yes
