1) The term "Other self-employment income" refers to income you received that was not reported on Form 1099-NEC or 1099-K. Enter any income paid by cash, check or credit card under this income topic.   2) The "needs review" tag can appear when nothing needs to be changed. This experience has been reported for further investigation. You can ignore this tag if you have completed your entries.   When you run Final Review, Smart Check will alert you of any areas that need your attention.   3) There's no need to begin a new business. In fact, continuing the self-employment business from last year is important for including information that flows from year to year.   To remove the new business, click the trashcan icon to the right of the line of work you entered this year.
