You received $2000 and will have to pay about $600 in taxes. I'm sorry, but that's not "netting nothing," even if you had to pay another $100 to a tax preparer or a software package to help you prepare form 8919. There are also volunteer service organizations that will help prepare tax returns for free, just tell them this $2000 from the 1099-NEC needs to be reported on form 8919 with code H instead of on a schedule C.
