I use TT Self-Employed online and Employee Forms to send 1099s. It tells me I can file 1099 with Self Employeed but another says I must use Business? What is correct?

I have always used Turbotax Self Employeed online and in the business section it allows me to use Employee Forms to generate 1099-Misc.  Now when I go to the link it says I must use TurboTax Business download for $160.  What is the correct way to generate employee 1099-Misc in TurboTax?

A new form (1099-NEC) has replaced Box 7 of Form 1099-MISC.

What is NEC?

If the following four conditions are met, you must generally report a payment as NEC.

  • You made the payment for services in the course of your trade or business (including government agencies and nonprofit organizations).
  • You made the payment to an individual, partnership, estate, or, in some cases, a corporation.
