You are correct.
If you made under $600, a company is not required to issue a 1099-NEC Form; you still need to report the income earned.
Before you do any changes, double check your entries. You might want to clear/delete any information that does not belong to you. Also if you had this income on the prior year, the software might be pulling information from last year.
Since you did not receive a 1099-NEC, you will delete that form, and follow the instructions below to enter the income earned:
For TurboTax Online:
- With TurboTax opened, and from Tax Home, go under the Income section
- Select Self Employment
- Answer the questions on the screens that follow, until you reach “Lets enter the income for your work”
- You will select Other self-employed income, includes cash and checks. This is how you will report the income.
For TurboTax Desktop:
- Under the Federal Taxes tab, scroll down to the Business Items section
- Select the second option for Business Income and Expenses (Sch C)
- Go through the screens and answer question related to your business until you reach the screen to “Enter Business Income that’s Not on a 1099-NEC or a 1099-MISC”, this is where you will enter your income.
