Thank you for the clear explanation - though the text has changed slightly, but this method still registered the amount entered for the 1099-misc in the Business Income and Expenses (Sch C) section.
I do not have a business so I don't understand why I have to pay more taxes just because this side gig decides to pay me as a non-employee. I should only file Sch C if I own a business right? Can I just enter the amount of income on Sch 1, line 22 and not enter it as 1099-misc income?
