Form 1099-NEC Worksheet (XXXXX): A link to Schedule C or another form is something we need to get your info in the right place.
The 1099-NEC is new this year - it replaces the 1099-MISC-Box 7 forms. All of the entries for the 1099-NEC are new in all software.
That is exactly what mine is doing. Please let me know if you figure anything out.
For the 1099-NEC, since the trouble is linking it to your Schedule C or another form, then please Sign Up here for email updates. TurboTax is working on this issue.
If you would rather enter it as other income for self-employment income and expenses, follow these steps:
Form 1099-NEC is a new form for non-employee compensation that replaces what used to be reported on Form 1099-MISC, Box 7 in the past. For more details, see What is Form 1099-NEC?
I have received a 1099-NEC which includes payment for work performed, and re-imbursement for travel expenses.
How do I take care of this in my 2020 taxes (in turbotax) ?
That is for self employment. You enter the full 1099NEC as income on Schedule C. Then enter your expenses. You get taxed on the Net Profit.
You can enter Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe or Premier but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Self Employed version. Or use any of the Desktop CD/Download programs.
How to enter income from Self Employment
Enter Form 1099-NEC for work performed and re-imbursement for travel expenses in your self-employment income & expenses section.
To go there in TurboTax, follow these steps:
For an overview to this new form, see What is Form-NEC?
*Alternatively, it is allowable to enter Form 1099-NEC in the Other self-employed income, includes 1099-K, cash, and checks section.
When prompted for Type of income, include Form 1099-NEC, EIN, and Business Name of the Issuer.
Kathryn,
This does not work. When you enter the NEC-1099 information it prompts you to a review that asks you to "double click" in a schedule c line. I've done (along with many others) what you have suggested tens of times, but it's still being flagged. If you're connected with TurboTax employees, please advise when they have an actual solution to their software.
I have already paid you $120 dollars for filing, but I'm unable to file because of this problem on your end. What are the steps at getting reimbursed for my payment? I don't find it ethical to charge customers for a service that didn't work. Please advise.
How long before the 1099-NEC issue is fixed
See this FAQ
But actually you can just enter it as Other self employment income or as Cash or General income. You don't need to get a 1099NEC or 1099Misc or 1099K. Even if you did you can enter all your income as Cash. Only the total goes to schedule C.
That happened to me. What it happened was that I had entered it twice, so the system was asking me to link it to make sure it was the right amount. Please make sure you only entered one.
Now, I have the problem that I cannot e-file my taxes, because one of the forms can't be filed.
We have a similar problem: Apparently, Turbotax no longer remembers the 1099-MISC information that we have used and re-used for many consecutive years. We shouldn't have to waste time and effort by manually re-entering data that TurboTax has maintained and imported year-after-year for nearly 30 years!
We have been using Turbotax, Quicken, and QuickBooks since the 1990s. All three USED TO BE great--both individually and as an ensemble. (BTW, I use BOTH Quicken and QuickBooks because of my wife's business, and our personal and other business/financial needs.) And that is why we HAD BEEN (happily) using all three of them for so long.
But, over the past several years, each of those programs have developed significant and increasing problems. For Quicken, the reason seems to have been that Intuit decided to sell it, so why sink any more money into maintaining, let alone improving it. I get that. Don't like it; but I "get" it. (BTW, Quicken's new owners seem to be doing what they can to maintain and improve it--so I am still using Quicken.) But I swear that for QuickBooks (to a lessor degree) and, especially for Turbotax, Intuit and its minions seem--to me, at least--to have been suffering mess-ups with increasing frequency. For example, when lots of people complained over each of the past half dozen or so years that Turbotax could no longer accurately (if at all) import data from QuickBooks and Quicken, the Turbotax and Intuit support people and other non-employee website monitors insisted that the people complaining of that on their support and community pages--myself being one of many--were doing the task wrong; were lying; that a solution was immanent; or that the problem will be fixed for "the next tax year." But, year after year, in fact, the problem was real and no solutions were forthcoming.
Now here I will be careful to clarify that, this year, I have not tried to import data from Quicken or QuickBooks into TurboTax. I decided last year that I would never try that again. For several years now, it has taken too much time and effort, and created too much frustration and anger for me to intend to try that with Turbotax again. It has become faster and simpler to just go with the flow--that is to manually enter the data. So I swore that I will NEVER try importing from Quicken or QuickBooks into TurboTax again. Nor will I waste my time complaining to Support about this problem, either. Given what I have seen and experienced, what is the point?
At least--I told myself--I can trust TurboTax to walk me through preparation of our taxes, and TurboTax still seemed to do that part of the process better than the competition. Plus, TurboTax also made it easier to do my taxes from year-to-year by tracking, remembering, and prompting me for stuff--like 1099-MISCs, for example... Now, even that no longer appears to be true. I don't know if this is due to forgetfulness, poor programing, or bad intent. And I no longer care which might be the case. I am done with TurboTax.
You wanna bet that this comment gets deleted from the database? Perhaps they will say it is "off-topic," a fraudulent post by the competition, not productive, or some other excuse. Or maybe it will simply disappear. Whatever, actually happens, it won't surprise or even bother me. I'll be gone and it won't really matter to me any more. The real question is whether TurboTax and Intuit will resume listening to their customers or not. If they don't, their time is numbered. If they do, then maybe someday I will come back to TurboTax. Who knows?
I bought this program in December. But I only just started using it when I stumbled on this problem. Now, it is too late to start over--"from scratch" as it were--with another program. And that is on me. So this year I expect to finish our taxes using TurboTax. But NEVER AGAIN. H&R Block, get ready, I'll be with you (or some other tax prep program) next year! I don't know whether I will be alone in that migration, and I don't really care. I just want a tax prep program that I can reasonably rely upon.
Today I worked with a turbo tax specialist who was assisting me in negating a 1099 NEC and replacing it with. 1099 MISC. The income total was doubled on the income listed. How do I fix this?
The Form 1099-NEC is used to report self employment, or independent contractor payments. If you did not earn this money, then you can delete the entry by using the following steps.
I am using TT Premier and it allows 1099-NECs to be entered but the results do not show up on the step-by-step summary page. The information is loaded in the forms, however. Hope they can fix this.
