Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It is self-employment income and you are in the right spot.    You can check the box that says she uses her own name for her business name.   You daughter is considered the owner of her own business for tax purposes; she is not an employee.   The answers there should pertain to her, so her name, the business address is her home address.    All of her business info goes to her Schedule C (TurboTax does this automatically).    She may do this type of work for multiple other businesses, so she may have multiple different 1099-NECs.   

 

If the type of work she did is related, all of the 1099s go on the same Schedule C.    The only place she will reference the name of the businesses she did work for is on the 1099-NEC entry screens.    All the other entries for Schedule C are asking about your daughter's business - which she does in fact own.   Now if the work she did for one was totally different than the type of work she did for the other, she would have 2 different Schedule Cs.    She needs a separate Schedule C for each type of work.   If she did office admin stuff for both jobs, that is one business/one Schedule C.   But if she did hair coloring for one client and bookkeeping work for the other, that would be a 2 Schedule C situation.   In this case, she has to divide the income and expenses between the 2 different lines of work - so she would have 2 Schedule Cs.   

 

How do I add self-employment income on a Schedule C in TurboTax? 

 

When TurboTax asks which business the income belongs to - it is asking which Schedule C should report this income.   Depending on the type of work, she may need 2, but if it is similar work, create 1 Schedule C for her business (her name and home address - her SSN, no EIN) and apply all 1099s to that Schedule C.
