Getting "Form 1099-NEX worksheet: Payer's federal EIN is invalid for electronic filing. You must have a valid employer identification number ...

This is an employer issued 1099-NEC, previous years got 1099-MISC with the identical TIN and never had an issue.

Read another post that this might be between Turbotax and IRS???

If so, why is this still not resolved today, 4/11/21???

Recommendation is to delete the Form 1099-NEC and re-add it. The EIN should be valid.

Thanks for your response, I have actually tried that but didn't work 😞

I actually went and deleted the actual form, and then re-added the information in the Easy view - should I do that differently?

No, that also should work. It may be a data issue.

You may be able to include the income without including the actual 1099-NEC? The 1099-NEC is an information return it is not required to be filed with your return.

As long as the income is included in your Schedule C you are not required to file the actual 1099-NEC.

Removing the form will prevent you having to print and mail your tax return.
