Self employed

Did he paid some people more than $600 for the year?  Then he needs to give them a 1099NEC.  Does  he have their names and ssn?  He should go ahead and file his own return and can enter the total he paid everyone as Contract Labor.  And worry about the 1099NEC later.  

 

Did he receive 3 1099NEC for his own income?  You can just enter all his income  as Other self employment income or as Cash or General income. You don't need to get a 1099NEC or 1099K. Even if you did you can enter all your income as Cash. Only the total goes to schedule C. You should be entering the income from your own records.
