If you were performing work for a company and they reported your income on a Form 1099-NEC, then that company considered you to be an independent contractor and not their employee. As an independent contractor your income reported on Form 1099-NEC will need to show up on a Schedule C Business Income and Expenses.
Being an independent contractor for the work you did means that you are considered to be self-employed in the eyes of the IRS and your income (and expenses, if any) should be reported on Schedule C.
