1099-NEC boxes 5-7 state info

[dogmama]

Hi,

I received an 1099-NEC from my employer.

Box 5 is left blank

Box 6 says "AZ" (no state number)

Box 7 has the same $ amount as box 1.

When filling out my form with the information I have for boxes 6 and 7, turbo tax won't let me continue without putting something in boxes 5 and 6 for state number. 

Pleas help, not sur what to do.

If your 1099-NEC has Box 5 left blank, Box 6 with "AZ" but no state number, and Box 7 with the same amount as Box 1, here's what each box represents and how to handle the situation in TurboTax:

• Box 5: This box shows any state income tax withheld. If it's blank, it means no state tax was withheld
• Box 6: This box is for the state identification number. If it's blank, you can use the Payer's TIN (Tax Identification Number) located under the Payer's name on the form
• Box 7: This box shows the state income, which is the amount of nonemployee compensation subject to state tax. It often matches the amount in Box 1

To proceed in TurboTax:

1. Leave Boxes Blank: If no state tax was withheld (Box 5 is blank), leave Boxes 6, and 7 empty
