Please follow these steps to enter your 1099-NEC:

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click on the Search box on the top and type “self-employed”
  3. Click on “Jump to self-employed”
  4. Answer the questions until the "Let's enter the income" screen and select "Form 1099-NEC"

 

Please see What is the self-employment tax? and What is Form 1099-NEC? for additional information.

Are you entering the 1099-NEC into your own return, or filing ones for contractors that you paid?  If you are doing the latter, and have an online version, you can go to Quick Employer Forms on the TurboTax website online to fill them out.  If you have the CD version, you "Start a New Return." Then you are asked if you want to start the return or fill out 1099's.  Choose the option to fill out the forms.  If you want to file online with the IRS, you have to then choose to do it online, and not on the desktop version.  I learned the hard way and filled them all out and could not file them, so had to redo them online. Hope that helps!
