You can enter the Form 1099-NEC as part of the Schedule C so that the income is reported directly as part of your Business Income and Expenses and within the correct form and section of your return.

 

Follow these steps to go to the Schedule C section of your return:

 

  1. On the top right corner of TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner).
  2. Type in “schedule c” (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find).
  3. Click on “Jump to schedule c”.
  4. Click on the blue “Jump to schedule c” link

 

If you already have created a Schedule C in your return, click on edit and go to the section to Add Income.  This is where you will re-enter the Form 1099-NEC.

To report the income from your 1099-NEC, while logged in to your return:

  • Click on Search
  • Type in "1099-NEC" and hit enter
  • Click on "Jump to 1099-nec"
  • Enter the information on your 1099-NEC

Be sure you have created your business (to generate a Schedule C) in TurboTax  so you can link your 1099-NEC to your business/Schedule C.

 

Also, be sure you report any expenses you have related to your self-employment income, such as mileage, uniforms, supplies, etc.  Not only will it reduce your income tax, it will reduce your self-employment tax.
