They gave him a 1099-NEC and they don't request itemized receipts from him like a grant normally would. He is getting money as part of a player development program. So maybe it is not a grant? He just uses the money (+ more of our own) to play the sport so we would be able to itemize all his expenses and deduct but I think he still has to file as self-employed because of the 1099-NEC, correct? Then can we deduct the expenses I asked about. I'm sorry I'm not more clear but this is all new to me.
