1099-NEC with split dollar premium not recognized by Turbo Tax

[sjmorrice]

I am not a worker; I am retired; I receive a 1099-NEC annualy for the premium contributions made by employer to my insurance. However, every year Turbo Tax does not ask a relevant question. It is not recognized as a non-employer; non-consultant benefit amount. Never received in cash.

It appears they should have issued a 1099-MISC rather than 1099-NEC.  The information printed below for your convenience shows what must be reported to you. For more information you can click this link: What is IRS Form 1099-MISC? 

File Form 1099-MISC for each person you have given the following types of payments to during the tax year:

• At least $10 in royalties or broker payments in lieu of dividends or tax-exempt interest.
• At least $600 in the following:
  • Rents
  • Prizes and awards
  • Other income payments
  • Cash from a notional principal contract to an individual, a partnership, or an estate
  • Any fishing boat proceeds
