Deductions & credits

Are you just venting or looking for an answer? For an answer, you need to identify the amount and source(s) of the income.  With 1099-NEC income, your net earned income,  is reduced by the self employment tax (SET) deduction (1/2 your SET) in calculating  your standard deduction.  Earned income is net self employment, not necessarily the amount on the 1099-NEC.

 

Bottom line: TurboTax is not doing it wrong.  You are entering it wrong or, more likely, not understanding how the standard deduction is calculated.
