Pay from union for being on strike

In the past, strike pay has been on a 1099-misc. This year it's on a 1099-nec

I'm having a hard time getting the form to be accept. 

Is 1099-nec the correct form to report income from the union while on strike?

Form 1099-NEC has replaced the Form 1099-MISC for non-employee compensation

 

To enter a Form 1099-NEC that is not for self-employment -

  • Click on Federal
  • Click on Wages & Income
  • Scroll down to Other Common Income
  • On Form 1099-NEC, click the start or update button

Or enter 1099-nec in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen.  Click on Jump to 1099-nec


On the screen Did you get a 1099-NEC?, click on Yes
On the screen Do You Want to Enter Your 1099-NECs Now?, click on Add a 1099-NEC
On the screen Let's get the info from your 1099-NEC, enter your information and Continue
