Self employed

The default treatment of income reported on a Form 1099-NEC would be self-employment income. That is what the form is for. However, it is often misused to report income that is not self-employment income, such as compensation paid to someone for a one time project that is not associated with their normal job. Such a payment would be better reported on a Form 1099-MISC. So, if "other income" is mis-reported on a Form 1099-NEC, you should enter it in the other income section in TurboTax.
