Marie Posted January 19, 2019 Report Posted January 19, 2019 When filing 1099 for individual, it can't be created without filing out the filing status. and if you select MFJ, it asks for spouse's SS# If I leave as company information, I can't use the SS# as my identification number. Error says it must be EIN What does filing status have to do with 1099's? Quote
Marie Posted January 19, 2019 Author Report Posted January 19, 2019 Also, all 1099's I rollover go to the company information instead of the individual information. Am I the only one that is happening to? Quote
ILLMAS Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Retype it like this xxx-xx-xxxx Also it sounds like you are using the tax program to create the 1099, you should be using ATX Payroll Quote
PaulH Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 I can enter the SSN this way on the Company Info Info sheet, but it generates a red error in the payroll program and won't let me create an efile. As Marie states, if I use the Individual Info sheet, I can enter an SSN for the payer, but ATX then demands a filing status (and spouse info if I pick MFJ or MFS). I think my plan for these (payers without an EIN) is to use the Individual Info sheet, and select Single for the filing status. The paper 1099-MISC does not show filing status anywhere, there is no mention of filing status in the 1099-Misc instructions, and I'd be shocked to learn that filing status is included in the efile, though I can't prove it. The 1040 filing status is not even necessarily known by the deadline for the 1099-MISC. Quote
ILLMAS Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Can you even file 1099’s yet? Last week it wasn’t allowing me. Quote
PaulH Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 Supposedly available either yesterday or today, but I haven't tried yet. 1 Quote
Marie Posted January 20, 2019 Author Report Posted January 20, 2019 I am chosing single status, also. but why is it there? Plus I have to copy and paste info from company tab to individual tab. Not a time saver, seems to be wrong Quote
FDNY Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 I just did a bunch of 1099s, e filed them, and have not had this situation. You are using Payroll Compliance program, correct? Quote
PaulH Posted January 20, 2019 Report Posted January 20, 2019 I am using the ATX Payroll Compliance program. FDNY, did you have any payers without an EIN, so you had to use their SSN? Those are what we are talking about. If you had no problem with those, did you use the Company Info sheet or the Individual Info sheet? I cannot create an efile if I use the Company Info sheet (because "The EIN is not valid"). If I use the Individual Info sheet, I need to pick a filing status (for no good reason that I can see). Marie, I agree it is wrong. Quote
FDNY Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 Yes, SS#s and used individual worksheet. I had no errors. Haven't checked on acceptance yet. Quote
PaulH Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 Thanks. I don't understand it. When I fill out the Individual Info sheet, I have to select a filing status or else I get a red error and cannot create an efile. Not the end of the world, I will just select Single as the status, which apparently doesn't get reported anywhere, but does let me create the efile. Quote
BulldogTom Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 I did one as an individual with a SS#. But I did not efile. Printed and mailed. No issues. Sorry I can't help. Tom Modesto, CA Quote
