@Opus 17 Here's what I observed (I have download Deluxe): TurboTax automatically defaults to calling it other income and putting it on line 8 of schedule 1 IF you say you do not have any expenses to deduct. You can then go to the business income section and reclassify it as self employment,
If you say you have expenses to deduct , the income goes to self employment
The whole $775 will classify as earned income not the net $607.
@J2W2 When you first enter the1099-NEC section, you will be asked if the 1099-NEC is for you or your spouse. I defaults to you (the taxpayer). So, you have to change it for her.
If you have "compensation", that can be counted to qualify your spouses IRA contribution. But you can't double dip, count the same earned income amount for both you and her.
