Thank you.
Yours is the specifics of the answer.
I had thought of the transactions as reimbursement that was nobody's business and as sort of a non-business charitable transaction. But the 1099-NEC generated a form.. Then I had thought of it as a business. And named the business as "Reimbursement for XXX."
The IRS and the TurboTax pushed me to treat the transaction as I were a business. So I gave in and did, and you provided me with the mechanism. I don't like it as a characterization of what I did. But I now think of it as a "business transaction" instead of an 'on-going business."
But, I paid attention to the little window of "tax to be paid". I knew it should be a net zero. As long as I knew that the 1099-NEC could be attributed to the expenses - I kept at it, until I ended up with a combination that netter them out together.
Thank you for the key strokes to do that.
