Missing context to fix errors

Under the Review tab, Turbotax reports several errors that need to be fixed. Most errors cannot be fixed because the context is missing. Any chance the product team at Turbotax could add a link to the context so user can't understand what the error is about?

 

Example 1:

I entered several 1099-NEC. Review/Errors flow reports "Form 1099-NEC worksheet (untitled): Payer's Federal EIN You must enter a Federal EIN or a SSN for the payer. Enter number box."

How can I possibly know which 1099-NEC this error is referring to? The missing context or link to review in context forces me to quit the errors flow, to open each 1099-NEC after the other, only to find out that there is no missing EIN on any of them. I have no clue what the error is about.

 

Example 2:

Review/Errors flow reports :1040/1040SR Wks: Virtual Currency must be entered. Check box (1) No Entry, (2) Virtual Currency Yes, (3) Virtual Currency No". 

I have no clue what this is about, I have no idea what could be the context. When I enter "1040/1040SR" in the search topic, it gives no results.

 

 

Could engineers and designers at Turbotax provide a context to errors? Really, we just can't guess or enter numbers blindly. A link to "view in context" would be the solution.
