If your return does not include a Schedule C, then TurboTax is trying to get you to fix, this issue and you will need to enter the 10990NEC under the Schedule C.
Any income reported on Form 1099-NEC is not reportable directly on your tax return. Since this type of income is considered self-employment (non-employee compensation) it must be linked to a Schedule C, even if there are no expenses being claimed.
To add a Schedule C so your 1099-NEC can be linked:
- Open or continue your return in TurboTax
- In the Search box type schedule c and click the Jump to link in the search results.
- Answer Yes to Did you have any self-employment income or expenses?
- Follow the onscreen instructions.
@epurbanski
The information required for the Schedule C will include the type of business, the business name (or your name if there is no specific business name), the business address (or your address), etc
