Ideally, you could contact the issuer and have them correct the IRS form 1099-NEC.
If that is not successful, you may enter the income reported on the IRS form 1099-NEC into your self-employment activity. Then immediately create an expense to back out the income.
In TurboTax Online, the IRS form 1099-NEC would be reported within the self-employment activity by following these steps:
- Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal.
- Down the left side of the screen, click on Wages and Income.
- Under Your income and expenses, scroll down to Self-employment. Click the down arrow to the right.
- Click to the right of Self-employment income and expenses.
- At the screen Your self-employed work summary, click Edit to the right of the activity.
- At the screen Let's enter any additional income, select Form 1099-NEC.
- At the screen Here's your info, select Add expenses for this work to add an expense line to back out the income not received in the current year.
