Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Form 1099-MISC use to be used for non-employee compensation but now the Form 1099-NEC is the form for non-employee compensation.   However, if Box 2 is the box with a number, it is going to ask you for a Schedule C or Schedule E.   The correct form in your case would be Schedule C.

 

With that said, if you are a car salesman and you are paid based on commissions that is considered as self-employment income for tax purposes.  The 1099-MISC should be reported on a Schedule C.   You will want to link the 1099-MISC to a Schedule C.   You can deduct any expenses related to your work that are not reimbursed to you by the company.   Otherwise, all that will be on Schedule C is the commission you received.   This income is subject to self-employment taxes. 

  

To fill out the top part of the form, simply complete the type of business - product; you will have to pick a business code for car sales, and the name of the company you can use the company name on your 1099-MISC.   The tax ID number can be left blank.
