My wife has a couple of unconventional work situations. She has done freelance writing/editing for a local community center. She received a 1099 NEC, but after I enter it, TT does not show it under 1099 NEC, but kicks it down to "Schedule C - Business Income." There is no business, no accounting, expenses, etc. Just a payment for freelance work. Is it possible to NOT file a schedule C or does a 1099 NEC make default to that? The other question, should she just have gotten a W2 from them?
Also, she works as an LNA and provides in-home care through a company. Same deal, they sent her a 1099 NEC - she doesn't have a private business, she actually works through them. Should they have sent a W2?
