Hi @Emi2 !

 

Congratulations on your new side gig!

 

Basically, you want to report all of your income from all sources.  You do not want to duplicate any income, but anyone that is required to issue you a 1099-NEC will still have to issue it to you, even though it may also be income that is reported on the 1099-K.  The requirement to issue 1099-NECs is dictated by the IRS, not the individual recipients.  It's not uncommon for the IRS to issue letters questioning unreported 1099-NEC income, so don't be alarmed if you get one.  You can reply that the income was in fact reported as part of the 1099-K income, or as part of your total gross receipts on line 1 of your schedule C.  As long as the records the IRS has of 1099-NECs don't total up to more than you are reporting, it should be alright.

 

You may also want to consider using the QuickBooks App to track your sales and expenses.  This would give you complete records and cover any payments made by whichever methods you accept them through.  https://quickbooks.intuit.com/accounting/mobile/

 

Hope this helps!
