I am having the same issue as other posters in this forum. I am a parent trying to help my 13-year-old son file his taxes for the first time. The only reason he received a 1099-NEC is because he received $3,000 in a 'settlement' we reached in mediation in which his previous school had to reimburse him for lawyer fees.
I am having the same problem with TurboTax. It keeps demanding I fill out a Schedule C for my 13-year-old son. He doesn't have a business or profession. He simply received these funds per the legal settlement reached with his previous school.
Every time I refuse to fill out the Schedule C Turbo Tax deletes my 1099-NEC form.
