Get your taxes done using TurboTax
The 1099NEC comes from the person or business for which you performed the contract work. They should have provided it by the end of January. But you can still enter the income without the document if necessary.
Even $400 of "contract" work is self-employment income for which you pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare.
If you have self-employment income for which you will pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare, you will need to use online Premium software or any version of the desktop software download so that you can prepare a Schedule C for your business expenses.

If you weren’t paid $600 or more, a business isn’t required to send you a 1099-NEC, but you still need to report the income.
To enter your self-employment income not reported on a 1099-NEC:
- Type “Schedule C” in the Search box
- Select the “Jump to” link.
- Answer the general questions about your business (or select Edit at the work summary screen).
- At the Let’s get income for… screen, select Additional Income.
- When in your account, select the Take Me to My Return button on the main screen.
If you did make $600 or more, contact the company or individual you worked for.
