I am a former teacher who retired on 8/1/2023. In Florida, a bonus for getting an A grade for the school is sent to schools at the beginning of the following year, so, even though I was retired, I received part of a bonus as a retired teacher. I was sent (at the end of February, 2025) a 1099 NEC form for my tax return. I am considered a former or non-employee, but received the bonus and it supposedly was sent to the IRS. I am confused as to how to report this in TurboTax, since I am not a business. I entered it in the specific area on TurboTax and then it flagged me for not completing Schedule C. I do not know how to proceed, since I am not a contractor and I am not a business owner! HELP!
From Florida and trying to meet the extended deadline for filing which is 5/1/2025.
