Self employed

It looks like self employment tax is in there, which is wrong. I think at this point you may have a piece of data stuck. So let's do a few things.

  1. Delete the form 1099-NEC - see How to Delete  
  2. Log out of your return and try one or more of the following:
    • Don't use Internet Explorer.
    • Clear cache and cookies,
    • Sign in using a different browser.

 

It is not business income so let's go through the steps. Online and desktop have a little difference but this should get you through either one.

 

  1. Open your return to the federal income section
  2. Select income from Form 1099-NEC
  3. Enter the information from your form
  4. Continue
  5. Describe the reason 
  6. Continue
  7. Does one of these uncommon situations apply?
  8. Select not earned, sporadic, hobby - the screenshots different - 
    1. online, select hobby 
    2. desktop chooses sporadic
  9. Continue
  10. See the NEC summary
  11. Done
