Self employed

That's what I did, but Turbotax will (as law requires) still create a 1040 and calculate self-employment tax.

This leads to a new question, though, for me:

The IRS says if you take in any income whatever on a 1099 NEC, you are self-employed. OK.  But maybe there is a silver lining here for seniors. If we are "self-employed." and have to file a Sched C, and made a profit, doesn't that mean that we can deduct Medicare premiums paid?
