1099-NEC Schedule C

[mshaikh010]

I received a 1099-NEC from a business I am working for. I am not self-employed. Turbotax is asking me to file a Schedule C, but I don't know how to fill in any of that information since I'm not running my own business. I am working for one. Please advise.

You would need to still enter this like it is a business because you need to pay FICA taxes on that income. Employers will issue 1099 NEC rather than a W2 to keep from paying their portion of your FICA tax. Here is how to report.

1. Type Schedule C in the Search box.
2. Select the Jump to link.
3. Answer Yes to Did you have any self-employment income or expenses?  Answer yes.
4. Answer the questions regarding your profile to the best of your ability. When it asks for a business code, just put 999000
5. After you complete your business profile, you will be brought to a summary page. Here pick Business Income.
6. Then enter your 1099 NEC information by selecting 1099-NEC income
