1099-MISC

[Sharden]

I've entered multiple 1099-MISCs for client (non-employee compensation), but they do not seem to be populating in income or on any final forms.

Do these need to be pushed or entered elsewhere? (If it matters, there was no tax withheld on these amounts.)

Lacerte is not a "key in forms, tax return pops out" software. You only need to enter 1099-MISCs if there's a state that requires that detail information.

Put the income (reported on a 1099 or not) in the relevant screen. So Screen 16 if your person has a Schedule C.

Each F 1099 does NOT need to be entered.  Run a tape, enter the total on the appropriate Schedule.

And exactly *where* are you entering each one; that's not how Lacerte works.  

Perhaps you are using Turdoh Tax?

Thanks all, still adjusting to Lacerte data entry from ProSeries and was slightly confused by the Ohio e-file instructions. Entering directly to Sch C was the answer.

Ah... that makes sense.

And I can't speak to whether Ohio requires the detail or not.
