My employer has given me a 1099-NEC for years with the payer's TIN as the SSN. I have E-filed before using this. Why can I not file online this year using this ID?

Enter the IRS form 1099-NEC from within the self-employment activity on IRS Schedule C Profit or Loss From Business.

In TurboTax Premier Online, report the IRS form 1099-K as follows:

• Down the left side of the screen, click Federal.
• Down the left side of the screen, click Wages & Income.
• Click on the drop down arrow to the right of Self-employment.
• Click to the right of Self-employment income and expenses.
• At the screen Your 2024 self-employed work summary, click Edit.
• At the screen Here's your info, select Add income for this work.
• Select Form 1099-NEC.

If the Review process still does not like the TIN or SSN number on the IRS form 1099-NEC, then select Other self-employed income rather than Form 1099-NEC.

Retain your paperwork with your tax return files should a tax authority have a question at a later time.
