Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I recommend that the IRS form 1099-NEC be entered directly into the self-employment activity, especially if you have established the self-employment activity in a previous tax year.

 

Hopefully, this would eliminate the confusion that you are experiencing.

 

In TurboTax Desktop Deluxe, follow these steps:

 

  1. Select Federal Taxes across the top of the screen.
  2. Select Wages & Income across the top of the screen.
  3. Select I'll choose what I work on.
  4. Click to the right of Business Income and Expenses (Sch C).
  5. At the screen Business Summary, select Edit to the right of the self-employment activity.
  6. Continue through to the screen Any 1099-NEC Income?  Select Yes.
  7. At the screen Let's get the info from your 1099-NEC, enter the information.
