NEC Being Rejected also and see that others have been having the same problem

[RenataRoskopf]

I submitted the NEC timely this year, however the was "rejected" several days later. I spoke with a TurboTax Rep who didn't know about this issue but I tried to submit again through TurboTax - however about a week later it was rejected yet again ---  Another poster mentioned that Turbotax would credit them for paying an accountant to submit the form themselves... but I'm also wondering about any potential government fees... Also would love to be able to get it to finally accept the form as April 15 is coming fast.

Where are you entering your 1099-NEC in the program?  If it's a payment for self-employment (which is usually the case), EDIT your Business in the Income section.  After entering some business info, TurboTax asks you about Business Income, and you can enter your 1099-NEC here.

If you're using TurboTax Online, you could delete your 1099-NEC and re-enter it in this section.  After deleting the form, clear your Cache and Cookies first.

If you can give more info, we'll try to help.

Whelp - I've deleted and resubmitted multiple times. It's beyond frustrating. Today I got a call back from TurboTax and the call dropped after I explained the issue. I called the 800 number back and got someone who didn't seem knowledgeable at all. I'm at a loss here-

I created the NEC where it reads "create employer forms."  I've been doing this since Jan 2025 - and now taxes are due in 3 days. I tried to file an extension and now it says that I have to mail the form. I shouldn't have to do that and should be able to file for an extension electronically as well - but the person on the phone seemed to think sometimes you have to depending on your tax situation - however, the tax situation was the same last year and I filed both for me and my aunt's extension electronically.  

This may be the last year I contend with TurboTax and at this point believe I'm owed a refund, in addition to any potential irs fees for a late filed NEC.  Please call me to discuss -- it seems it's the luck of the draw when it comes to knowledgeable reps-- thanks

also now... the NEC is "processing" which may kick back again by tomorrow or whenever -- but shouldn't this be easier? It's done this many times and at this point I may have to find a cpa to even do this part --- (someone else's similar issue said they did that and it was accepted instantly) --- it seems there's something glitchy with Turbo this year... I've had no issues like this and have done the same tax situations for 2 people since 2019. thanks for any help-

Your rejection should come with a 'rejection error' code.  What is the code that you are receiving for the 1099-NEC rejection?  

If you are filing the extension on the same account that created the rejected 1099s the system may be trying to make you file the extensions by mail because of the rejection.  If you need to you can create a separate account in TurboTax just to file the extension so that it can be submitted today.
