Under "Review" it says one of my 1099-NEC forms doesn't have enough info to know where to report the income. I completed everything under that section. How do I fix this?

Ok, if you have already entered your schedule C and then entered the 1099-NEC as part of your schedule C then you have done everything the right way.  If you are still getting an error for the 1099-NEC then go back and delete the 1099-NEC and add the income from the 1099-NEC as "Other Self Employed Income".  Make sure that the amount that you enter is the amount from the 1099-NEC.  Then you will be able to file and the numbers on your tax return will match what you received.

I have two 1099 NEC forms which I entered on my Schedule C. After completing the entire return and performing the Federal Review I get a message for both 1099 NEC forms:

Form 1099-MISC Worksheet: A Link to Schedule C or Schedule E is something
we need to get your info in the right place. Here's what to do: Go to "Federal" and then "Income & Expenses".
Select "Income from Form 1099-MISC." Make sure to complete all of the info in this area. 

The program then wants me to enter my Rents in Box 1 but I don't have any 1099 Misc forms or Rents to claim. It won't let me go forward without completing this info. I have followed the steps of deleting and re-adding these forms to my Schedule C several times with no resolve. I'm aware of the glitch in the program. Can I bypass this problem in any way and just file my return with no continued issues?

I am not sure what steps you have taken to fix your issue, but it appears you must have accidentally clicked on Rental Income in the Wages & Income section o your return. You issues appear to impact Schedule E and Schedule C.

 

Schedule E.

Revisit the Rental Income (Schedule E) as follows:

 

Go back to the interview in TurboTax and follow these steps:

  • First, be sure you are in your return by clicking Federal on the left menu.
  • Type schedule E in the search box.
  • Click the Jump to link.
  • By the rental property, select Edit. and then Delete

Or, 

In the upper right corner, 

  • Click My Account > Tools. 
  • In the pop-up window, select Delete a form. 
  • Click Delete next to the Schedule E form that you would like to delete and follow the onscreen instructions.

Schedule C

If double-clicking the box that shows Schedule C does not work, then your return may not have Schedule C included yet.  Income reported on Form 1099-NEC is not reportable directly on your tax return.  Just entering the information on that form is only one step.  Since it is self-employment or 'non-employee compensation' it must be associated with a Schedule C, even if there are no expenses being claimed. The information required for Schedule C will include the type of business, the business name (or your name if there is no specific business name), the business address (or your address), etc.

 

Since income reported on Form 1099-NEC needs to be reported on Schedule C, the program is trying to tie these two forms together to be sure that it is reported correctly and on the right form . Click here for more detailed instructions.

 

If you are still having issues, you may also want to start fresh by deleting and re-entering your Forms 1099NEC.

 

  1. Sign into your TurboTax account.
  2. Open or continue to your return.
  3. Go to the Federal Income & Expenses section.
  4. If you've already imported your 1099-NEC forms, you'll see a Review button next to your 2021 1099-NEC.
  5. Select the trash icon to remove the line item for 2021.

Thanks I figured out the problem. Apparently there is a software glitch that when I entered my 1099 NEC on my Schedule C it makes a duplicate under the 1099 Misc folder.  In order to fix the problem this duplicate that was created under 1099 MISC has to be deleted!
