Thank you for the response and clarification. The income I earned was not for the same company as the 1099-NEC nor was it a similar line or type of work, so based on your response, I would have to file a separate Schedule C. I understand how to do this on paper, but it is unclear how this looks like or how to do this using the TurboTax online software. If I file a separate Schedule C, would using the category "Other self-employed income including cash, checks, etc" be okay as the other expert mentioned, and if so, does this result in looking like one additional line in the subsection of "Wages & Income - Self-employment income and expenses" box (such that the box has two lines in it - one for the 1099-NEC and one for the other work - but the total amount for the entire box being the combined income of the 1099-NEC and consulting work)? Thank you.
