1099-NEC Received for Lawsuit Settlement Missing Information Error

[territerese]

I received a 1099-NEC for an injury settlement. 

When I fill out the information correctly, including that it's from a lawsuit and does not include any back wages, I get a message saying information is missing. I've included all the information on the 1099. I can't override this and I get a warning that the form will be deleted if I don't complete the missing information.

Dozens of other people appear to be running into the same issue.  What is the solution? Thank you.

We are aware of this experience and I would like to take a deeper look at this. However, I need a diagnostic file which is a copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the  directions below:

1. Sign into your online account.
2. Locate the Tax Tools on the left-hand side of the screen. 
3. A drop-down will appear. Select Tools  
4. On the pop-up screen, click on “Share my file with agent.”
5. This will generate a message that a diagnostic file gets sanitized and transmitted to us.
6. Please provide the Token Number that was generated in the response.

Thank you for your time. That's the procedure I followed. Once you input the data from the 1099, it asks if any of these "uncommon" things apply. One of the choices is that the payment was for a lawsuit.  When you check that box, it asks if any of the payment was for lost wages. Mine was not, so I answered "no".
