Retirement tax questions

If you received a 1099-NEC, the issuer of the 1099-NEC is treating you as a self-employed individual.  Per the IRS, "If payment for services you provided is listed on Form 1099-NEC, Nonemployee Compensation, the payer is treating you as a self-employed worker, also referred to as an independent contractor.

 

  • You don't necessarily have to have a business for payments for your services to be reported on Form 1099-NEC. You may simply perform services as a nonemployee.
  • The payer has determined that an employer-employee relationship doesn't exist in your case."

If you feel this is incorrect, you will need to contact the issuer of the 1099-NEC to have it correct.

 

You can enter this in TurboTax using the following steps:

  1. Sign in to TurboTax
  2. Select Wages and Income
  3. Select Other Common Income
  4. Select 1099-NEC
