I will check again but do not recall any of those questions.....

Checked again. Deleted the form to start fresh, entered the payer's TIN, then selected none of these apply to me.

Then the question about the following pic:

 

 

It is not self employment.  For this reason you should delete Form 1099-NEC entry (see below), but keep the document and information that shows it was paid by Public Partnerships LLC which was used by Costco to make an extra payment for COVID-19.  Next report the income using the steps below in TurboTax Online Deluxe.

@vpujols 

Thanks, did that. 

 

Now TT Deluxe is prompting me to address a question from the form I had deleted when reviewing the taxes. Pointing me back to Schedule C where I had info from the 1099-NEC form.

 

EDIT: I went into the Schedule C form and manually removed that company info and such, smart check ran fine this time.
