Hi @DaveF1006, Thanks a lot for your detailed answer!
In my case I paid more than $600, do not have a business, and report on Schedule E. So from your answer I am concluding that I don't need to file a 1099-NEC, but can choose to do so.
If I may ask then about TurboTax Premier (online): I looked at the description how I could file such a 1099-NEC and tried it out (without saving), but it requires me to set up a record for me as a business (it has the option of using my SSN for that). So for now I gave up on that as I'm not sure if that is the right way to do it.
I did find other online options, but if TurboTax could handle this for me, I would prefer that.
