1099 Misc/NEC transfer to Schedule C

@rcooley25  THIS IS NOT A PRO SERIES PROGRAM. It is ProConnect. Intuit invented similar names just to fool old timers. It is a program to encourage them to retire next year. 

Well it has done one heck of a job encouraging me to retire next year.

@rcooley25 This is the program we are using. Give it  a try. Log in mess with it. DO  NOT Print or E-file and there is not charge.  Just click here ProConnect™ Tax and ye shall know the grace of another tax product that don't look nothing like ProSeries and works in wonderous ways to confuse the faint of heart. 

Thanks for the idea. We are changing the status to "Open for voting" since it is no longer considered "New". If you have any questions on the life cycle of an idea, check out our Idea Exchange Getting Started Guide for more information.

This should definitely be added. Just as it connects in ProSeries, 1099-MISC and 1099-NECs should connect to a selected schedule and add to gross income from 1099s. A separate line for cash will cover everything else.

It's a waste of time to enter the info twice. And I do enter it two times: once in the 1099-NEC input and then again in gross income.

I don't want to chance that I include a 1099-NEC income without a corresponding entry and IRS may think that's additional income. Because of this on the Sch C I add a notation "From {name of co} 1099-NEC" so there should be no doubt that we added the income in.

I dislike entering anything twice. 

Sorry to be more harsh than I would normally but because of this thread, I felt I should say something, just in case anyone at Intuit is listening!  Can we just be honest with ourselves and say how very stupid it is that Proconnect doesn't link a 1099 to a Schedule C, why would this ever be a bad thing?  I have a CPA, CMA, MBA and just made the switch from Proseries to Proconnect and I have to constantly search for things, though I have over 25 years experience with a variety of programs.  Doing taxes doesn't (and shouldn't) require someone to be a rocket scientist to do it well, we want simplicity with broad functionality, not an easy combination!  A word to the wise Proconnect, your product isn't intuitive and it's overpriced for what it delivers, if your software were more user friendly you would have many many more people using it...Think about the potential!

I would be nice if we could link the 1099-NECs to the Sch-C similar to how other things link.  I have clients that give me 10 or 20 of them. They provide them to me in Link so I can import them. So if I could link them it would be a lot faster than manually entering the income numbers. 

WORKS HALF THE TIME - STILL NEEDS A FULL TIME FIX

You can import the 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC to a Schedule C provided you actually import it. 

If you simply enter the dollar amount - say because the 1099 exists from the prior year - it does NOT transfer to the Schedule C.

I have no idea why the design is this way. It needs a fix.

ProConnect is an online modified version of Lacerte. Lacerte has never used 1099-MISC, NEC, INT, ... or anything other than withholding. They have never linked these forms to C, E, ....

The method I have used is Click the + next to Gross Receipt or Sales and get something like this for Schedule C:

You can do similar actions in E, F and the business modules

Since they have done this method decades, do not hold your breath for change.
