Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You report the Form 1099-NEC in the Wages and Income section of TurboTax, then Other Common Income, then Income from Form 1099-NEC. You would indicate in TurboTax that the money is not associated with employment if you weren't being compensated for services provided. 

 

I assume you received form 1099-NEC for money you received that involved the services of a lawyer, and you want to know if your attorney fees are deductible against the money you received. It would depend on the circumstances, but normally only money you receive for injury or illness are not taxable.

 

For the most part legal fees are only deductible when associated with business or employment matters, things related to income. If you could clarify what the money you received was for we may be able to be more specific.
