Q. Should I enter my known income from this payer on line 1a Sched. C as "income NOT reported on a 1099-NEC?
A. Yes. That's enough to get the IRS computers to match the 1099, if one was issued
I haven't tried it this year, with the new 1099-NEC form, but in the past you could enter a 1099-MISC without the EIN and still e-file.
