1099 NEC reporting asks for "Box 6-State Number" - What is the State Number for Texas

By the term "reporting" does that mean you are entering a 1099-NEC for income you received in Texas?

TX does not have a state income tax.  You don't need to mention TX.  Are Boxes 5,6, and 7 blank?

There is an amount in Box 7, the same as the total amount of the 1099 NEC since all of the money was earned/paid in Texas

I see now that on another 1099 NEC there is nothing in boxes 5, 6, and 7.

I will treat the first 1099 NEC as if it was the same.

Thank you for your quick reply!!

You're welcome.  Normally in Texas the Payer wouldn't enter anything there in those state tax boxes since there is no state income tax.  The fact that you have a figure in Box 7 is making it request Box 6 info.   As you found, the workaround in TX is not to mention anything for TX in the state boxes 5, 6, and 7.
