No, it's not correct. It's an unfortunate quirk of the TurboTax interview. Here are two ways you can handle it.
1. When you enter the 1099-NEC, say that you have expenses, even if you don't. Then it will create Schedule C.
2. Go to the business section first and enter the basic information about your business. That will create Schedule C. Then enter the 1099-NEC income in the business section.
If you have further questions, please tell us whether you are using TurboTax Online or the CD/Download TurboTax software, and what edition (Basic, Deluxe, etc.).
Thanks, that's what I thought, but they could have changed it. I would call it a bug, not a quirk. I'm using the deluxe edition purchased at Costco.
Has this been corrected? I am having the same result but wondering if i do need the schedule C?
If this is a nonemployee compensation, you would need to file a Schedule C though the program does not lead you to.
You will need to enter the information in both Form 1099-NEC and Schedule C sections. You would start from the 1099-NEC section under "1099-MISC and Other Common Income". You would then follow prompts to tell the program you are filing a Schedule C. As it creates a Schedule C for you, you will need to go to the Schedule C portion separately to confirm your income amount, add related expenses and complete required information.
