State return rejected and federal accepted. Return rejected by state for missing TIN for a 1099-NEC. When I went in to fix after receiving email from turbo tax I found it could only be entered on the accepted federal return. Has this change (addition of TIN) now showing on state return within TurboTax? There is no way to see this on state return!
I’m also shocked turbo tax didn’t catch this error. Will this also affect my federal return? Amounts are correct and business name provided, but I forgot to enter TIN from the form into TurboTax

No, the additional of a tax identification number will not change your federal return. There are some pieces of information that must be entered in the federal return even though they may affect your state return.

I am sure the number doesn't show on the federal or state return, but your state must require it to complete the e-file process.

Julie,

Do you feel this will slow the processing of my federal return? Will federal send correspondance for missing info?

You are correct in that it doesn't affect tax liability or change any calculations. I did go into the federal return to add the TIN number so it would update the state return. It did indeed update to reflect on the state return as it has now been accepted.

I do have concerns that this may cause a delay in federal processing. Any ideas why the software wouldnt catch this missing info? Thank you!

This will not slow your federal processing at all. The federal efile system does not require the information from the 1099-NEC be correct in order to be transmitted. The state does.

The system is not set up with every EIN of every payer in the country. It can't review your EINs for you, unfortunately.
