You should not have to start your return from scratch to enter your self-employment income. Try using the approach described below to get your Schedule C and Form 1099-NEC entered into your tax return.
TurboTax will guide you through the process by asking you questions one step at a time.
Use these steps to go to the Schedule C section of your return:
- On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
- This opens a box where you can type in “schedule c” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
- The search results will give you an option to “Jump to schedule c”
- Click on the blue “Jump to schedule c” link
Once your Schedule C is set up, use the Add Income option to enter the details from your Form 1099-NEC.
Take a look at the following TurboTax article for more information: Does a 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC mean I'm self-employed?
