US Clients

!!Important!! We've had a user report the headers in our tax return report download for the excel, csv, and Googledrive files still have the 1099-MISC headers.  You will need to move your data from the downloadable spreadsheet to this spreadsheet with the 1099-NEC headers 
You will notice the spreadsheet provided in the link above is not set to be edited by users, this is on purpose as it's a public link and we don't want you sharing your data with publicly.  So you'll have to make a copy of that and work in the copy.  We've put together a full workaround video for this for you to follow!
