Schedule C would be for any self-employed business.  So, if you have a self-employed business already, but you received a Form 1099-NEC for unrelated or a different kind of work than your self-employed business, then you need to create a second Schedule C to report the Form 1099-NEC income.  

 

The business that paid you through Form 1099-NEC was not considering you an employee or you would have received a W-2.  Therefore, you are also considered to be self-employed for the income reported on Form 1099-NEC even though it may not be related to your personal business.
