If your W-2 has the "statutory employee" box (box 13) marked in TurboTax, you will be asked to link the W-2 to Schedule C. If this was an error and should not have been checked, then edit the W-2 and uncheck the box.

To go back to your W-2, from within your federal return, select the search icon at the top of the page and search for W-2 and select the Jump to link.

My W-2 does not have Statutory Employee checked in box13, but Turbo Tax has it linked to my Schedule C, line 1.e. which has a zero showing on that line, and calls the W-2 out as saying that I am a Statutory Employee. The comment reads "Schedule C (Research Consulting): Line 1e: W2 Statutory cannot be reported on the same Schedule C as other business income. Either remove any amount entered for statutory employee income or unlink the W-2 worksheet from this copy of Schedule C and link it to a differrent Schedule C." This W-2 shouldn't be linked to any Schedule C. How do I fix it? Thanks!

please help me

What if they say you have a W-2 on Schedule C and you don't have any W-2's.

Verify there are no W-2's listed for your tax return and if there are delete all W-2's listed.

Thanks for the help, but can't seem to find tax tools, etc. Not doing it online, down loaded program.

I have searched and definitely do not have a W-2 attached that I can find, so don't know where the Statutory box is to uncheck. Amount from 1099-NEC.
