Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I would advise you to delete both and start over from scratch. They are not both self-employment incomes. Prior to 2020, SE income was reported on 1099-MISC in Box 7. As of 2020, SE income is reported on Form 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC is used for all non-SE income. 

 

Your 1099-NEC should be reported by entering it onto Schedule C. 

  1. Type "Schedule C" in the search field at the top right hand of the screen.
  2. Select "Jump To Schedule C" and you will be brought to the section of TurboTax where you can enter or have entered your business income and expense information

Your 1099-MISC needs to be reported according to what box the income is in under the Personal Income section. 

 

Under the Wages & Income (or Personal Income )

  • Other Common Income and elect to start
  • Then Click YES to indicate you have a 1099-MISC.
  • Enter the 1099-MISC exactly as it is. Continue.
  • Enter the reason you got this money. Continue.
  • Select None of these apply. Continue.
  • Select No, it didn’t involve work. Continue.
  • Select the tax year for which this specific 1099-MISC was issued. Continue.
  • Select No, it didn’t involve an intent to earn money. Continue.
  • Select No. Continue.
