Self employed
You are correct salon workers are listed as qualified occupations who are elegible to deduct qualified tips. In your case, to be able to claim the tips, they must have been reported to you on a Form 1099-NEC. You need to enter your Form 1099-NEC in the Self-employment section of TurboTax, in the Wages and Income area.
After you enter your Form 1099-NEC you will be asked if any of the income reported in box 1 is from tips. When you answer "yes" you will be able to enter your tip income and will be asked some questions to see if it qualifies for a deduction.
