Thanks for the feedback. I looked up the IRS instructions for 1099-NEC before I started this thread, and it confused me because it referred to a business my son started. Here is a copy/paste from the IRS website.
"Use Schedule C (Form 1040) to report income or (loss) from a business you operated or a profession you practiced as a sole proprietor. An activity qualifies as a business if your primary purpose for engaging in the activity is for income or profit and you are involved in the activity with continuity and regularity. For example, a sporadic activity, a not-for-profit activity, or a hobby does not qualify as a business. To report income from a nonbusiness activity, see the Instructions for Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8j."
So I have two questions: 1) Since the business owner issued a 1099-NEC with a TIN, how does the IRS know the Schedule C applies to the 1099-NEC my son was issued if the business owner is not listed anywhere on the form. 2) Since he only worked once for a few hours, should we be reporting this on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8j?
