How do I file a 1099-Misc with x's and last four of SSN for the payer's Federal ID number?

I have a 1099-misc and the payers federal id number only has social security style x's (xxx-xx-xxxx) with only the last four numbers visible. Turbo Tax does not accept this as a submission. How do I go about filing this?

Skip the 1099Misc and enter the amount as Cash income

What's it for?  If it is for self employment income you don't need to enter the actual 1099Misc.  You can enter self employment income as General or Cash.

Yes, it's for self employment income.

Contact the payer to obtain the correct Tax ID number before attempting to file this 1099-Misc.

I have and since in this case her Tax ID is her SSN she refuses to give up that number as she says she has never had to give it out for a 1099-Misc before.

I have this same issue. I was sent 1099 NEC but the Tax numbers are like so xxxxx5555.

 

What am I supposed to do with this?

@centralrefinish  As @VolvoGirl suggests above you can enter the income as self employed cash income instead of entering the 1099-NEC.  Or you can contact the person who issued you the 1099 and get their full tax ID number.  Those are your two best choices.

 

Here's the link volvogirl provided for entering cash income.
