How can I print a 1099 NEC without the contractor's social security number or ein number

Hi, Cindy. I'm here to help. 

To ensure compliance with the IRS guidelines, it is advisable that you formally request the Tax Identification Number (TIN) from your contractor before filing the 1099 forms. For a detailed guide in requesting for TIN, kindly refer to this article: Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification. 

In the event that your contractor refuses to provide the SSN or EIN and you need to file a 1099 to meet filing requirements, I'd recommend consulting your accountant or to contact IRS Contact Support for a detailed guidance on handling filing 1099 forms for a contractor without an SSN or EIN. 

If you filed your 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC forms with the IRS, you may also need to file with your state. Let me add this article as a reference: File your state 1099 forms.
