Get your taxes done using TurboTax

it depends on where you entered the income from the Form 1099-NEC.  This is considered payment for services or nonemployee compensation (NEC) which should be reported on Schedule C.

If you did report it there, then as stated by @JohnB85677 your expense deductions may have offset the income to zero since the worksheet shows no earned income for 2020. 

  • Sign into your TurboTax account > Search in the upper right > Type Schedule C > Press Enter > Click on the Jump to link to review your entries.

The earned income on the worksheet that is listed is from your 2019 return per the line description.  If you do not have any W-2 forms, then the only earned income on the return would come from the Schedule C.
