Error checking on W2 and 1099-NEC not working the same?
Error checking on W2 and 1099-NEC not working the same? I was sending a client last night and going over the return and EIN on their 1099-NEC was blank and it was no error checking for it. So, I did some testing. I remember if you created a new W-2 or 1099-NEC the EIN box and name and address box with light up in pink with error checking and it's not doing that now. It only lights up like the state and zip code box. It seems to stop doing it with the last update. It also must be a shared component because the 2022 program is doing the same thing. Users become reliant on the error checking and so I expect this to cause some problems with some users' client's return because they forgot a EIN number especially for business clients.
