My client received a 1099 with the first 5 digits of the Payor's SSN redacted.   How do I entered this on the 1099-MISC worksheet?  I tried entering 5 zeros, but it said it wasn't in the proper range.

Make it up. That entry is not an error for efiling.

If you're really hung up about using a correct EIN, delete the 1099 misc and manually enter the dollars on the Sch C. You don't need to enter 1099 misc, ever.

Agree with above....that information isn't sent with the return, it's just for your own info, just make up a number if you want to use the worksheet.

Otherwise you can just include that income on the Income line on the proper form, I don't use the worksheet unless its got withholding on it.
