1099NEC

[LOUISEPAULIN1]

I received a 1099NEC. I was entering it until I came to Box 2. it asked  if the payer made direct sales of $5000 or more of consumer products for the recipient for resale.

or there was an entry in boxes 4-7. Neither of these are true and it will not allow me to continue. I earn this by playing  games on a phone and earned gift cards.  what do I do?

You should enter your 1099-NEC exactly as it shows on the form you received.  Since your form is for money you received via gift cards you should not have box 2 checked and do not likely have information in boxes 4-7.  To proceed in TurboTax Online make sure the boxes on the screen are not checked and click Continue to enter the information about why you received the form.

You can follow these steps to enter it:

1. Click Edit/Add for your form 1099-NEC

4. Choose This is not money earned as an employee or self-employed individual, it is from a sporadic activity or hobby (this is not common) and click Continue
