Question

My 1099-MISC has box 9 checked that says "Payer made direct sales of $5000 or more of consumer products to a buyer (recipient) for resale." When I try to fill it out the 1099-MISC section in Turbo Tax it shows box 9 as N/A and won't let me input anything or tell me why. What do I need to do? Anyone have any idea?

Answer 1

If Turbo Tax is not allowing you to input information in Box 9 of your 1099-MISC form, it may be because this box is not applicable to your specific situation. The purpose of Box 9 is to report direct sales of $5,000 or more of consumer products to a buyer for resale. If you did not engage in such direct sales, then Box 9 may not be relevant to you, and Turbo Tax may not allow you to input any information in that box.

However, if you did engage in direct sales of $5,000 or more of consumer products to a buyer for resale, then you should contact Turbo Tax customer support for assistance with filling out this form. They may be able to help you navigate the software and input the necessary information in Box 9.

Additionally, if you are unsure whether Box 9 applies to your situation or if you have any other questions or concerns about your 1099-MISC form, it may be helpful to consult with a tax professional or accountant for guidance. They can provide personalized advice and ensure that you are accurately reporting your income and expenses.
