If you review the previous posts from @ToddL99 and @LenaH, the issue has been resolved.

 

Report the 1099-NEC as self-employment income on Schedule C. 

 

Answer "YES" when asked if "you played an active role in the business" - by accepting a job, you played an "active role".

 

This may not feel like a business (or self-employment) to you, but the U.S. tax code treats it that way for tax purposes.

 

All of the income is NY-source, subject to NYS tax. It doesn't make any difference whether the 1099-NEC included any state or city information. You can identify this income as NYS-income in the NY state tax interview.
