I worked for a job that gave me a 1099, now it says to file I have to wait for a form for Profit/Loss from business. I did not have a business, how can I file now?

The IRS considers you to be self-employed, so you are being told to enter a Schedule C for your expenses.

I wonder what form  you need?  Schedule C is available to efile now.

I don't think the Form 8995 (for QBI) is ready yet.

And you are posting from Deluxe online and not Self-Employed, so we are confused as to what your 1099 was for and what form it is really saying you need.  Click Review to see what form you are waiting for.
