Received a 1099-NEC for covid relief funds that were paid out by the state of Georgia. This supplemental payment was for early learning professionals and staff in Georgia. Known as POWER, for Providing Our Workforce Essential Recognition. POWER is funded through federal COVID relief funds.
When I put the 1099-NEC into TurboTax, it gets reported on a Schedule C as business income for the self-employed. I'm not self-employed, I work for a childcare business. Georgia paid these funds out to thousands of people. The funds were routed through a private company so that company issued the NEC. Should these funds have been reported on a 1099-MISC or some other tax form? Do I need to file it as is, under the Schedule C? Thank you
