Box 6 - State number, has been left blank on the Form 1099-NEC Form that I received, but Turbo Tax will not proceed without it. Any help?

If boxes 5 and 7 show $0 then make sure you left them empty and didn't manually enter 0 on the form. Same thing happened to me and doing this let me e-file without needing to fill box 6.

If there was no state tax withheld (in Box 5) of your 1099-NEC, then please leave Box 6 and Box 7 empty.

 

If there was state tax withheld (in Box 5) of your 1099-NEC, and there is no state identification number in Box 6, then you can use the identification number as shown in the Payer's ITIN number Box under the Payer's name.

Does your advice still apply for 2024 1099-NEC forms where no State # exists? I wonder why Turbotax makes it mandatory.

Thank you not entering a $0 amount in line 5 or 7 resolved the request in box 6 for a state abbreviation thus allowing me to e-file.

What if there is a number? Box 5 says 0, nothing in 6, and 7 has a dollar amount. But it won’t let me push my taxes through. I’m very confused.

Even if box 6 has a state and box 7 has an amount in it?
