My employer has given me a 1099-NEC for years with the payer's TIN as the SSN. I have E-filed before using this. Why can I not file online this year using this ID?

Turbo tax has already taken my money for this frustrating and maddening experience.

Try entering the SSN in the format xx-xxxxxxx.

Enter the IRS form 1099-NEC from within the self-employment activity on IRS Schedule C Profit or Loss From Business.

 

In TurboTax Premier Online, report the IRS form 1099-K as follows:

 

  • Down the left side of the screen, click Federal.
  • Down the left side of the screen, click Wages & Income.
  • Click on the drop down arrow to the right of Self-employment.
  • Click to the right of Self-employment income and expenses.
  • At the screen Your 2024 self-employed work summary, click Edit.
  • At the screen Here's your info, select Add income for this work.
  • Select Form 1099-NEC.

If the Review process still does not like the TIN or SSN number on the IRS form 1099-NEC, then select Other self-employed income rather than Form 1099-NEC.

 

Retain your paperwork with your tax return files should a tax authority have a question at a later time.
