Retirement tax questions

May I ask.....is this the first time using the Home & Business version?  It just has a separate tab for Business but it's all your personal income and goes on Schedule C in your personal return.   Just enter the 1099NEC under the Business tab.  

And actually  you can just enter it as Other self employment income or as Cash or General income.  You don't need to get a 1099NEC or 1099Misc or 1099K.  Even if you did you can enter all your income as Cash.  Only the total goes to schedule C.

 

You said.......It's not tied to a business, it's tied to my social security number.   But it is your own business.  When you are self employed you are in business for yourself.  You don't have to have an official business set up.  You use your own info.  The people or company that pays you is your customer or client.  You are considered to have your own business for it.  YOU are the business.
