I work remotely for different companies. Some of them hired me as a part time employee so for those I receive a W2 but for the others that I work as an independent contractor for I receive a 1099-NEC. One 1099-NEC has no information listed under 6. state no. But the other 1099-NEC says NY and NY RES under no. 6. Why does it say this? Boxes 5 and 7 are both blank since no taxes were taken out. I live in NJ and performed all work from home. Based on what I read, it sounds like where you completed the work is where you file but I just wanted to confirm since I found it strange that the two forms were different. Thank you!

No, from your description, you would not be required to report New York income, nor file a New York return.

HERE is a link for what New York considers New York Sourced income.

If Box 5 and 7 on Form 1099-NEC are blank, I assume Box 6 simply reports the company state ID and is included on all the forms that company uses.

If TurboTax gives you an error for this (it shouldn't) you can leave box 6 blank as well since the federal return does not need the state ID number.

Thank you! Yes the company is located in NY so I figured this was this reason they put that as the state but the other 1099-NEC listed no state under no. 6 so I wasn’t sure why they did this. I wasn’t sure if they just put it on everyone’s since that is where the company is located or if we all actually have to file NY taxes because the company is located there.
