I am working on my daughters tax return for 2020. She received a 1099 NEC from her future employer to help with living expenses while they delayed her employment start date due to the pandemic.
She is not self employed / nor will be for the foreseeable future. I entered the 1099 NEC and then went to Business Taxes - Self Employment tax,
answered Yes to "Do you want to work on your self-employment tax anyway?", then pressed "Make Adjustments", and entered the amount in the "Other SE NonFarm Profit (Loss) box. It calculated the Self Employment tax the same as a Schedule C would without having 10 errors from missing lines on the Schedule C.
Is this a valid and correct method to use?
