See How to Delete

The NEC must be entered after you in the sch C in order for it to properly link. The 1099-NEC is new this year. If it was a 1099MISC for 2019 and now hava a 1099NEC for the same company this is what you need to do:

1. it asks you if you have a 1099MISC OR a 1099NEC for any of the businesses you had last year.
2. You delete the 1099MISC shown and it should also give the choice of going forward with a 1099NEC for the same businesses 
3. you click "ok" for that one 
4. enter any 1099NEC's that are new for 2020.
5. If you continue down that path it deletes the old 1099MISC and continues on to link the NEC's with the existing Sch C.
