Retirement tax questions

As a self-employed gig worker, you would need to file a Schedule C to report the income and expenses that you had for your work.

 

You may receive a 1099-NEC or possibly a 1099-MISC for the income that you were paid. If you don't receive a form, you still need to report your income.

 

We'll automatically complete Schedule C for you when you add your self-employment income in TurboTax (usually from Form 1099-NECor 1099-MISC). Here's how to add your self-employment income:

  1. Open or continue your return
  2. Search for schedule c and select the Jump to link in the search results
  3. Answer Yes to Did you have any self-employment income or expenses?
    • If you've already entered self-employment work and need to enter more, select Add another line of work
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions

If you need Schedule C to report a 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC, make sure your return is open and search for 1099-NEC or 1099-misc, then select the Jump to link. We'll ask questions about your 1099 income and generate Schedule C if your situation calls for it.
