Delete any previously entered Forms 1099-NEC, then enter the Forms 1099-NEC under Self-employment income and expenses (under the corresponding spouse's business if married filing jointly).

Do not enter Forms 1099-NEC under Other Common Income. Entering under Other Common Income doesn't work at all.

Do you have a Net Profit on Schedule C after expenses? Did you get a Schedule C?
