Instead of entering the information thru the Form 1099-misc path, you may treat them as self-employed and report on a Schedule C. In TurboTax online, here are the steps:
- Sign in to your TurboTax account and select Pick up where you left off
- At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in "schedule c" and Enter
- Select Jump to schedule c
- Follow prompts
You can also report related expenses to reduce your income.
Thru this way, you do not need the payer's federal EIN.
