Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I got a 1099-NEC which only contains Payer's SSN (and not the EIN). Now while i am trying to e-file my tax return, Turbo Tax won't let me proceed, what should i do?

Go back to the 1099-NEC entry and where it asks about payer EIN or SSN select that it is a SSN.

So, that's exactly how i did, and everything worked perfect - now when i went through review (all good there too), and i tried to E-File, that's where TurboTax tells me that it needs an EIN (and not SSN) to E-file with 1099-NEC.
