If we report this retention bonus as self-employment income (since it is reported on a 1099-NEC) and we take the -1000 on line aa of the "Other Income Statement Line 14", we have a negative number reporting on line 14 for the total. It is negative because the retention bonus isn't reported on the Other Income Statement, but instead on Schedule C. Is this going to be a problem? Should there be a negative number on line 14 of Form Iowa 1040?
