TurboTax won't let me finish filing without an EIN from my 1099-NEC, which has a TIN instead of the EIN. What do I do?

TurboTax won't let me finish filing without an EIN from my 1099-NEC, which has a TIN instead of the EIN. What do I do?

It depends. If you could let us know what type of income is on your 1099-NEC we can be more specific. The information below will assist with business income changes.

 

If it is business or self employment income you can remove the 1099-NEC and enter the income directly on your Schedule C business.

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Search for schedule c > Press enter  > click the Jump to link in the search results, or select 'See More' and then click on Schedule C.
  3. Answer Yes to Did you have any self-employment income or expenses?
    • If you've already entered self-employment work choose to enter 'Other self-employed income, includes cash and checks'> Enter the amount from your 1099-NEC.

Delete your Form 1099-NEC - Keep it in your tax files with notes should you need it later.
