Business & farm
There is no need for concern. As long as you are reporting the income on your tax return you should be fine. You are not required to enter the 1099-NEC to include the income on your tax return. Although this is a convenience to assist in preparing your own return, it is not a requirement.
The IRS does a name and EIN match using the first four letters of the business name generally.
You can choose to enter this as a cash payment of business income by selecting Other self-employed income, includes 1099-K, cash, and checks (if you choose this, delete the 1099-NEC).
You NEVER need to enter in the 1099 itself for self-employment at all. The program does this for your use only since the IRS only gets a total of your income and not all the 1099s info you might enter.
