To enter a Form 1099-NEC that is not for self-employment:

 

Open your return and go to Federal >> Wages & Income >> Other Common Income >> Income from Form 1099-NEC. Click Start/Update. (Your screens and line names may be different depending on the version of TurboTax you are using.)

 

Or go to Tax Tools >> Tools >> Topic Search. Enter 1099-nec then click Go.

 

  1. On the screen Did you get a 1099-NEC?, click on Yes
  2. On the screen Do You Want to Enter Your 1099-NECs Now?, click on Add a 1099-NEC
  3. On the screen Let's get the info from your 1099-NECenter your information and click Continue
  4. On the screen Describe the reason for this 1099-NECenter a reason and click Continue
  5. On the screen Does one of these uncommon situations apply? Select This is not money earned as an employee or self-employed individual, it is from a sporadic activity or hobby and click Continue.

 

These entries will report the income on Schedule 1 Line 8z Other Income. The total from Schedule 1 flows to Form 1040 Line 8 as ordinary income.
