TT reports "A Link to Schedule C should not be linked"

[mattw00]

TurboTax is reporting an error, "Form 1099-MISC Worksheet (Redacted): A Link to Schedule C should not be linked when the MWP qualifying as difficulty of care payments exclusion box has been checked"

I have not reported any "difficulty of care payments" nor can I find the reported "exclusion box" to uncheck.

How do I correct this error?

If you did not have any Medicare Waiver payments, you might have accidentally made the selection during the 1099-Misc entry.  To correct this, follow these steps:

1.   Click Wage & Income
2. Scroll down to Income form Form 1099-Misc, Click Edit/Add
3. Click Edit Beside 1099-Misc
4. Confirm information enter and click continue
5. Click Continue for a reason for this 1099-Misc
6. Verify you did not select This income is a Medicare waiver payment that qualifies as a difficulty of care payment.  (See Screenshot)

I'm experiencing the exact same condition as @mattw00.  I followed your instructions and verified I do NOT have the MWP radio button selected. I have "None of these apply" selected. However, I am also/still getting the same response from the Smart Check tool. Can I safely ignore this warning? Or is this a bug that needs to be investigated and fixed before continuing my return?

Hi, I have this same problem. It popped up after TurboTax applied updates when I opened it today (2/23/2022). I verified that I did not select "This income is a Medicare waiver payment that qualifies as a difficulty of care payment" and DID select "None of these apply" per your screenshot.  Is there some other potential source of the problem? Is this a bug?

Looks like this is also affecting the Pro Series users as of this morning. Looks like a bug to me: https://proconnect.intuit.com/community/proseries-tax-discussions/discussion/error-message-for-form-...

Seeing the same issue with the update on 2/23/2023.  Ran the check 2/22/2023 and this error was not occurring.

Same problem here.  After updating the program this morning (Feb 23, 2023), I received an error message involving MISC-1099 that says "Schedule C should not be linked when the MWP qualifying as difficulty of care payments exclusion box has been checked". This error didn't exist yesterday. It looks like there's a bug in the program update released today. Please advise on how to resolve this issue.

If you have the MWP error showing on Turbotax Desktop. In this current version as of todays date, there is no option to uncheck in step by step.

To fix:

Go to Forms

Find the 1099misc worksheet

Scroll all the way to the bottom and uncheck the box under Medical Waiver Payments. 

The error should go away after that.

Same problem here. I was passing all the checks two days ago, now I am getting this error. I tried checking MWP on the form, exiting it and then coming back an unchecking it but it did not help.

That section isn't on the worksheet as I see it. It jumps right from Boxes 16-18 to Additional Payer...

[Backlight3614]

I'm using Turbotax Desktop and Forms view displays neither the Medicaid Waiver section nor the button.

Same thing here, it's not on my "1099-misc worksheet" to uncheck. Didn't have issue yesterday. I have to file by Wednesday, which I can do so by mail, but it won't let me e-file.

Also having this issue.

Also having this issue. Had already entered a 1099-MISC with Other Income in Box 3 linked to my Schedule F a couple days ago with no problems. Now after today's update (2/23/2023) it displays an error that I can't link this 1099-MISC to my Schedule F since the MWP qualifying as difficulty of care payments exclusion box has been checked. I never checked this box, and the checkbox on the worksheet does not display below the Boxes 16-18 section as shown in an earlier post so I'm unable to uncheck it.

I'm not getting this error for other 1099-MISC forms I have, though.

I can confirm the same issue and same form view as others have already shown after todays (2/23/2023) update as linked to 1099-MISC Business Income with no way to correct as outlined by TurboTax responses.  When will this obvious bug be fixed!

In no way is this issue "Solved".

Medical Waiver Payments box is not present after 2/23 update.  Hard to "Get Your Taxes Done" when basic form bugs like this are in place.  I did test just removing the errant 1099MISC form and entering as 1099NEC, but we as users should not have to do these tricks.  Please fix this bug!
