Why am I not able to link my 1099-NEC 

Thank You for your patience

Beginning with the 2020 tax year, the IRS will require business taxpayers to report nonemployee compensation on the new Form 1099-NEC instead of on Form 1099-MISC. Businesses will need to use this form if they made payments totaling $600 or more to a nonemployee, such as an independent contractor.  This was done to help clarify the separate filing deadlines on Form 1099-MISC and the new 1099-NEC form will be used starting with the 2020 tax year.

Here is the fix that will work for everyone. Go to a different tax prep site. I have used TurboTax for years, never again. Like every large Corp., they feel like the world owes them something.

Irene2805 No! None of that works.  Here is a novel idea for TurboTax. Fix the F-ing problem! 

[mrichb4]

Thanks, these steps worked for me.

I am receiving this same issue.  Looks like it is still not resolved.  This is very frustrating as I would hate to start all over with another company as well.

You can delete the Schedule C.  Here's how:

How do I view and delete forms in TurboTax Online?

• Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
• In the left menu, select Tax Tools and then Tools.
• In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form.
• Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet in the list and follow the instructions.

Once you have deleted the form, go back and review the income interview questions carefully.  There may be something there in one of your answers which caused the software to think you need Schedule C or Schedule F.

i had the error, I fixed it by deleting an empty 1099-misc form that I accidentally left there. Make sure you delete any empty forms that you accidentally leave around in other categories.

AJ'S BAR LLC provided a 1099-NEC for 2020.  I was a bartender and the firm controlled the times I worked along with everyone else - other bartenders, servers, cooks, etc.  Based on the IRS website, I should be classified as an employee.  Based on the IRS site, it says that I should report the amount on the 1040 as "Wages, salaries, tips, etc. and also file 8919.  My income was $4,483.48 because of COVID.   This prohibits me from filing my taxes for free because of the other forms.  The IRS site says I can file a SS-8 so should I do that first? 

[PattiF]

You should mail the SS-8 now separately and e-file your return.

The SS-8 gets filed by mail, separate from your return.  From the IRS:

Send the completed and signed Form SS-8 to:

Internal Revenue Service 
Form SS-8 Determinations 
P.O. Box 630 
Stop 631 
Holtsville, NY 11742-0630

Faxed, photocopied, or electronic versions of Form SS-8 are not acceptable for the initial request for the Form SS-8 determination.

Do not submit Form SS-8 with your tax return as that will delay processing time.

More information here: SS-8
