1099-NEC entry is NOT throwing an error if you don't link it or check the Other income box
This changed recently and is working fine in the 2024 program. Hubby does data entry for me. New 1099-NEC for a client. He would let me decide if other income or needs to be linked to a C....normally it would turn the link box red, so I would know it was there.
NOT ANYMORE! The Schedule C line in the pic should be red..... and of course it is not flowing anywhere either....which is expected if nothing is selected!
