After you file
It has been fully processed once the return shows up in your IRS online account. You can prepare the amendment now; just wait until your payment has cleared before you file it. You will need to delete the Schedule C and that 1099-MISC.

Then re-enter the 1099-misc making sure to answer the 3 follow-up questions as follows:
- Select No, it didn’t involve work like my main job on the Did the involve work that's like your main job? screen.
- Select I got it only in 2024 on the How often did you get income for? screen.
- Select No, it didn’t involve intent to earn money on the Did the work involve an intent to earn money? screen.
Answering differently to any of those three questions will imply self-employment and generate Schedule C.
Once you are done entering the income, verify it is on the correct line on Schedule 1. Self-employment/Business will go to Line 3 and Other income (where it should be) will go to Line 8.
