Tax Year Prior to 2020: Share my file with Agent how does this work

how do I share file with agent using desktop version

Use the Online tab at the top of the TurboTax desktop screen. Wait until you're on the phone with an agent and give the six-digit code that will allow the agent to access the sanitized version of your return.

how do i get 6 digit code

That allows you to get a token number to provide to the agent and once we get that token, we can access a copy of your return to view it. But the copy we get will not have any personal information on it, such as your SSN, address, names or any other personal data. That will be removed and we can only see number amounts entered. So you may be asked by an agent to "Share your file" if they are trying to assist you with an issue you have and need to look at the numbers on the return. 

give a code to shear with agent

When you are talking to an agent they will walk you thru this process. 

Send file to agent will create a file that masks all of your personally identifiable information and generates a code, that when given to a TurboTax phone or chat agent can allow them to better assist in troubleshooting certain issues that come up when you are working on your tax return in TurboTax.  Many items can be resolved by a phone or chat agent quickly without use of this tool but for some of the more complex items this file can be very handy!

Software is a statement.  Do you have a question?

how do i enter 1099-nec

A 1099-NEC is for Non-employee compensation.  Enter it following these steps:

• Federal
• Wages and Income
• Income from Form 1099-NEC
• Enter the name of the person or company who paid you, the federal ID number and the amount in Box 1
• Then enter the reason why you received the 1099-NEC
• Answer the next question about the 1099-NEC and whether you have expenses to deduct

If this is associated with a business, select the business

• If this was for a business, go to Self-employment income and expenses
• Select the business, and then answer the questions until you get to 
• OK. Let's get the deductions unique to your work
• Check the box for any type of expense that you had
  Check less common expenses to see a complete list
• Add any other income for the work
• Add expenses for the work
• Answer the questions and then run the audit assessment for the work

Does 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC mean I am self-employed?
