If you received the Form 1099-NEC for a nonemployee compensation, you should enter the information in both Form 1099-NEC and Schedule C sections. I will suggest you to add the Schedule C. See below for instructions.
You would start from the 1099-NEC section under "1099-MISC and Other Common Income". You would then follow prompts to tell the program you are filing a Schedule C. As it creates a Schedule C for you, you will need to go to the Schedule C portion separately to confirm your income amount, add related expenses and complete required information.
In TurboTax online, here are the steps:
- Sign into your account, select Pick up where you left off
- From the upper right menu, select Search and type in 1099nec and Enter
- Select the Jump to 1099nec
- Follow prompts to complete the section
Then
- From the upper right menu, select Search and type in schedule c and Enter
- Select the Jump to schedule c
- Next screen, "Your 2020 work summary" under your self employed business, select Review
- Continue to enter related expenses and other required information
When you received a nonemployee compensation, the IRS treats you as self employed and requires you to pay self employment taxes. The net profit amount will show on line 8 of your Schedule 1 and Form 1040.
If you are using mobile app, try to follow instructions from above. If it does not work, please move it a non-mobile device.
