It does not even give me the option to file my taxes.

You complete your tax return by finishing all 3 Steps in the File section. In Step 3, to e-file your tax return, you must click on the large Orange button labeled "Transmit my returns now".

 

After completing the File section and e-filing your tax return you will receive two emails from TurboTax. The first email when your tax return was transmitted and the second email when the tax return has either been accepted or rejected.

Form 8919-T is used if you were an employee but were treated as an independent contractor by your employer. About Form 8919

 

Here is more information about this:  Form 8919

 

And this information should help you find where to enter the information that the program needs. 

 

This information is entered in a different area of the program then regular W2s.  It is found under Federal (or Personal) Taxes -> Wages and Income -> Less Common Income -> Misc Income -> Other Income Not Already Reported on A Form W2 or Form 1099

 

The quickest way to get there is to use the search feature in the top right hand corner (magnifying glass icon).  

  • Search for "8919" and then click the jump to "8919" link (if you are just logging into your account, make sure you click the Take Me to My Return button before performing the search).
  • You will get sent to the Other Wages Received Page
  • You will click Yes and proceed until you get to Any Other Earned Income
  • Click Yes to this question because you have other income that should be on a W2
  • Leave check next to employee compensation that was not reported on a W2
  • Next screen will be Employee Compensation that was not reported on a W2
  • This screen will explain Form 8919 and SS-8.  TurboTax will prepare and file Form 8919 for you with your return
  • Next screen will have to report your wage information
  • Next screen will ask if these wages were reported on a 1099MISC
  • That will be the end of this section (program interview may go on to ask about other less common income types)
