Employer Kind - None Apply

I use TurboTax Home & Biz via Windows, but the preparation of 1099s occurs on an Intuit website, quickemployerforms.inuit.com.

 

I am unable to create a 1099-NEC at quickemployerforms.intuit.com. When answering the drop down for "Employer Kind", a required field, I select "None Apply", because none of the other options apply.

 

That stops the process immediately because when I go to create the form, I get an error message, "Invalid Entry: Employer Type is Required". 

 

Yet my employer type, which I selected, is in fact "None Apply", which is one of the possible answers.

 

This needs to be fixed!

Employer type and employer kind are not the same thing.   Did you make a choice from this list ?

What choices do you get? I don't remember that question.   I do my self employment business with just my ssn.   Obviously you have to pick something.

Choices are:

  • None Apply
  • Federal Government
  • State and Local Governmental Employer
  • Tax Exempt Employer
  • State and Local Tax Exempt Employer

Here's what happens if you selecte "None Apply".  I've tried with both Chrome and Edge browsers.

None apply is allowed but the line before must be filled in ...
