  1. Go into Forms Mode by clicking on the Forms icon in the top right of the blue bar
  2. In the Forms in My Return list on the left, click on the 1099-NEC you wish to review.
  3. Check the name at the top of the form.  If it's yours and it should be your spouse, just click the box Spouse's 1099-NEC. [See Screenshot #1, below]
