I am trying to submit my taxes but this 1099-NEC is holding me up. I put in the name of the payer, the payer's TIN, and the information in box 1 of the form and it's telling me that it's missing information even though THERE IS NO OTHER INFORMATION ON THE FORM. I am so frustrated!!! There is nothing in box 4-7 and the amount is less than $5,000. It has nothing to do with back wages or self-employment wages either. What am I doing wrong?!
Run a federal review to see if any details will come up regarding the 1099-NEC form.
Before you run a review, have you gone back to where you entered the 1099-NEC and go through all the entries to make sure they are all entered correctly.

I just had this same issue. Only box 1 has an amount and box 6 has the state. 4, 5, and 7 are zero.
Another tax expert on here said to put the amount in box 1 in box 7 as well and leave 4 and 5 as zero.
You don't need the entry in box 6 if there isn't anything in box 5 or 7, so you can leave those blank. Also, you don't need to enter $0 in any of the boxes, just leave them blank.
