Even though I provided the payer's SSN for my 1099-NEC, TurboTax will not let me e-file unless I provide an EIN, which I do not have. This is a BUG.

[excess411-tax]

The workflow for the 1099-NEC and efiling is broken as I cannot eFile without an EIN even though the form states that an SSN can be used for the TIN instead.

Will the income be reported as self-employment income on a Schedule C Profit and Loss From Business?

If so, report the income within the self-employment activity rather than outside of the self-employment activity.

In TurboTax Premier Online, report the IRS form 1099-NEC as follows:

• Down the left side of the screen, click Federal.
• Down the left side of the screen, click Wages & Income.
• Click on the drop down arrow to the right of Self-employment.
• Click to the right of Self-employment income and expenses.
• At the screen Your 2024 self-employed work summary, click Edit.
• At the screen Here's your info, select Add income for this work.
• Select Form 1099-NEC and report the income.

If you have the same EIN issues, select Other self-employed income to report the income.
