If you received income in 2023 that was not included on your tax return, you will need to amend that return to include the 1099 (is it a 1099NEC?) that you will be picking up. You do NOT put 2023 income on a 2024 tax return. And...if you are receiving a 1099, you did not have an employer---you had a client and are receiving self-employment income from that work. You will pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare.
Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend.

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.
