Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you received a non-employee compensation, the IRS very likely considers you as self-employed.  You will report Form 1099-NEC on a Schedule C and the net profit or loss will show on line 8 of your Schedule1 and Form 1040. 

 

If you do not have any related expenses to deduct, the Deluxe online version will be good enough.  However, if you have expenses, you will need the TT Self-employed online version. The major difference between TurboTax desktop and online versions is the desktop gives you option to view all the tax forms in the "'Forms Mode"  as you enter the information.  It allows you to go back and forth between the forms and step-by-step interview screen/ questions.  The online version does not allow that and you will have to pay at the end before you can view and print the forms.
