1099 not received

[kbcouch]

I am waiting to receive a 1099, they haven't created them yet!  I have the info of my sales and who it is paid from but do not have the taxpayer ID, nor will they give it to me even though it will be on the 1099.  I am about ready to file within about a week, how do you report without the taxpayer ID?

The only way you can enter your 1099 income without an actual 1099 is if you are reporting the 1099 as self-employed income.  To enter the self-employment income please follow these steps:

1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax
2. Search for Schedule C and select the Jump to link at the top of the search results
3. Answer Yes on the Did you have any self-employment income or expenses? screen
   • If you land on the Your 2021 self-employed work summary page, select Review next to the work you're adding income for
4. Answer the questions on the following screens until you arrive at Let's enter the income for your work
5. Select Other self-employed income and Continue
6. On the next page you can enter the amounts related to your self-employment.

If the 1099 was for income other than self-employment income, you will need to wait until you have received your copy before you can enter the information into your tax return because you need the EIN.
