Question about 1099-NEC. Item 6. Only has initials NM for state/Payers state no. but I need state number

[CesarJ]

Item 6 on Form 1099-NEC refers to the "State/Payer's state number," which is a specific state-assigned identification number used for tax reporting. If your 1099-NEC only shows the initials "NM" for New Mexico but not the full state number, this number is typically a state tax identification (or account) number given to the payer by the New Mexico tax authority.

The initial "NM" alone is the state abbreviation, not the full state number. You'll need to get the full state number from the payer because it's assigned by the state for tax reporting and is required for accurate filing.

If you only have the initials, you cannot substitute a different number; it must be the payer's official state number for New Mexico. Contacting the payer for that number is necessary to complete the form accurately.
