1099-NEC turbotax problem with boxes 5-7

I am entering a 1099-NEC and box 5 is blank, Box 6 says CO but no number and Box lists state income amount. Turbo tax won't let me move forward without a state ID number and there isn't one listed on the 1099-NEC.

What do I do?

    If box 5 is blank, it means that there is no state tax withheld.

     

    In this case, you should leave all 3 boxes 5, 6 and 7 blank.

    So if box 5 is blank but box 6 has the State with no number, and 7 has the state income, would this mean that I should get my 1099-NEC amended?

    If there is an amount in Box 7, then box 6 would need a state number that meets the requirements of that state.

     

    If you can't get a valid number for box 6 today, and there is no withholding in box 5, you can try leaving box 7 blank as well as 5 and 6.

     

    Each state has its own requirements for the format of the state id number.
